From the Department of Pediatrics, The Children's Memorial Hospital, Division of Ambulatory Services, Northwestern University Medical School, Chicago, Illinois.

Three cases of hypernatremic dehydration in children with severe psychomotor retardation are described. All the children were receiving processed foods that contained extremely high amounts of sodium and were unintentionally deprived of free water. Salt and water intake must be monitored closely in children who can neither communicate thirst nor regulate their diet.
