Hyponatremia is one of the common electrolyte disorders that can accompany many diseases. Kawasaki disease is also one of these situations. Kawasaki disease is the most common vasculitis in children under the age of five years and can occur with very different clinical pictures. Since Kawasaki shock syndrome has been described more recently, its unknown features are high. In this case report, we presented a patient who presented to the emergency department with the clinical findings of hyponatremia and was diagnosed with Kawasaki shock syndrome.
