Autori v článku prezentujú kazuistiku 6-ročného chlapca s nefrogénnym diabetes insipidus a retrofaryngovým abscesom. Perioperačné obdobie bolo komplikované neadekvátnym perorálnym príjmom a poruchou minerálovej a tekutinovej rovnováhy. Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is a rare disorder characterized by impaired concentration ability of the kidneys. For these patients, not only the adequate fluid intake is crucial, but also their composition itself. The adequate hydration is especially important in situations with limited oral intake, such as in the case of an operation and preoperative period. In this article, the authors present a case report of a 6-year-old boy with nephrogenic diabetes insipidus and retropharyngeal abscess. The perioperative period was complicated by inadequate oral intake and a disorder of mineral and water balance.

Keywords: nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, perioperative period, fluid management.
