Abstract

The authors report a case of hypernatremic dehydration following chronic water deprivation and very likely salt load as a form of child abuse in a 2 11/12 year-old girl. This uncommon picture often expresses a severely disturbed relationship between parents and child which has to be considered in the family management.
