【 摘 要 】

Mannitol is an osmotic diuretic agent that has been considered a main therapeutic option in cerebral edema for the past several decades. The most common adverse effect reported is acute kidney injury and electrolyte imbalance. Hypersensitivity associated with mannitol is not a usual finding. Here we describe a case of a traumatic brain injury patient who had a hypersensitivity reaction to mannitol. It is the first reported case report about hypersensitivity to Mannitol in Indonesia.
