Abstract
When prescribing mannitol to decrease intraocular pressure, the physician must be alert to potential complications. A 72-year-old woman suffered obtundation, intractable pulmonary edema, acidemia, and irreversible renal insufficiency despite vigorous hemodialysis. When renal function is compromised, careful monitoring of electrolyte levels, daily urine output, and renal function is necessary with mannitol therapy.Entities:
