Abstract
Case reports of three patients who had fits as a consequence of hyponatremia are presented. Each patient was in spontaneous labor at term and received conventional doses of oxytocin for augmentation. The pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of this entirely iatrogenic condition are discussed. The differences between these and similar cases in the literature are stressed.Keywords
