Sever hyponatremia is associated with a high mortality rate. It can occur during procedures requiring irrigation with a glycine solution. ⋯ The resorption syndrome during transcervical resection of a uterine myoma is linked to the passage into the blood of the irrigation fluid that contains glycine. The symptoms are hidden during general anesthesia and severe hyponatremia can occur before the syndrome is detected.
