Brainstem strokes associated with vertigo or hearing symptoms Timothy C. Hain, MD Please read our Return to Index Search this site Page last modified: July 16, 2005 The purpose of this page is to consider the findings in brainstem strokes in detail. More general aspects of brainstem strokes and TIA's related to vertigo are considered elsewhere Vertigo is a common early symptom of brainstem strokes. However, because strokes are much less common than other sources of vertigo such as ear disorders, vertigo is only caused by central nervous system problems (including stroke) about 5% of the time. Migraine is a common cause of vascular vertigo. Hearing disturbance is a much less common symptom of brainstem stroke than vertigo. This may reflect the resilience of the wiring pattern of hearing in the brainstem which includes of both crossed and uncrossed pathways, or factors related to details of the blood supply or resistance of the ear to disturbances in blood supply.

63. Baylor Neurology Case Of The Month The most wellknown of these disorders, central pontine myelinolysis, While central pontine myelinolysis was initially linked with alcoholism, http://www.bcm.edu/neurology/challeng/pat75/summary.html

Patient #75 Summary and Discussion Katie Noe, M.D., Ph.D.. Diagnosis: Extrapontine myelinolysis following rapid correction of iatrogenic hyponatremia. CLINICAL COURSE: DISCUSSION: Osmotic Demyelination Disorders For these reasons, patients at risk of developing significant hyponatremia should be closely monitored. Treatment of symptomatic acute hyponatremia must balance the risk of development of osmotic demyelination with the risk of complications from the hyponatremia itself. Recent recommendations suggest that hyponatremia be corrected at a rate of not more than 8 mmol/L/day, although initial rates of correction may be as much as 1-2 mmol/L/hour until life-threatening symptoms resolve (Adrogue and Madias, 2000). Monitoring of sodium levels every 2-3 hours may be necessary in order that adjustments in treatment can be made to avoid overly rapid changes or reduce the impact of overcorrection. Chronic hyponatremia without life-threatening symptoms should be corrected very slowly. It is difficult at times, however, to distinguish chronic from acute alterations in the emergency setting. Diagnosis: clinical signs and imaging findings Diagnosis of osmotic demyelination syndromes begins with recognition of predisposing risk factors for hyponatremia, and a clinical course suggesting development of symptoms after a documented or suspected osmotic stress. Other disorders that could produce cortical, basal ganglia, or white matter injury, such as status epilepticus, hypoxic-ischemic events, hypertensive emergencies, and Wernicke encephalopathy, should be considered in the differential diagnosis.

Keywords: alcoholism, central pontine myelinolysis, forensic science, hypernatremia, hyponatremia, hypothermia, malnutrition, pathology and biology, saline infusion Abstract: We report four cases of central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) that illustrate important features of the disorder. The condition is described mainly in the neurological literature and, to our knowledge, is not discussed in the forensic science journals. This disorder must be recognized and understood by the forensic science expert who addresses issues of liability. In cases of multiple motor deficits and death with a history of hyponatremia, CPM must be included in the differential diagnosis. Careful examination of the pons and adjoining structures must be performed. Myelin stains are advisable. The association of CPM with major illnesses, hyponatremia and the correction of hyponatremia by intravenous saline infusions is discussed. Return to Search Page

He was on Tacrolimus for immunosuppression. Radiological Findings: Axial CT images showed swelling in the central pons with low density, which caused the fourth ventricle compression ( Fig. 1 ). There were also several patchy lesions with low density in the periventricular and frontal subcortical areas ( Fig. 2

Health Encyclopedia Health Encyclopedia Back to main Health Information page Disease - Central pontine myelinolysis Central nervous system Definition: Central pontine myelinolysis is a condition characterized by nerve damage caused by the destruction of the covering layer ( myelin sheath) of nerve cells in the brainstem (pons). Alternative Names: CPM Causes And Risk: The destruction of the myelin sheath that coats nerves inhibits impulse conduction within the cell and thus decreases its ability to communicate with other cells. The most common cause of central pontine myelinolysis is a rapid, drastic change in sodium levels in the body. Most commonly, this occurs when someone is being treated for low levels of sodium ( hyponatremia ) and the levels rise too fast, but it can occasionally occur when high levels of sodium in the body (hypernatremia) are corrected too quickly. This condition does not occur spontaneously; it is a complication of either treatment for other conditions or the other conditions themselves.

Central Pontine Myelinolysis Central pontine myelinolysis is a disorder characterized pathologically by dissolution of the myelin sheaths of fibers within the central aspect of the basis pontis. In extreme cases there may be extension to the pontine tegmentum, midbrain, thalamus, internal capsule and cerebral cortex. The myelinolysis occurs with relative sparing of the nerve cells and axon cylinders. Many patients are asymptomatic, and at the other extreme are patients whose symptoms are masked by coma. Most clinically diagnosed cases present with spastic quadriparesis, pseudobulbar palsy, and acute changes in mental status with progression possible to altered levels of consciousness and death. Survival is possible with varying residual neurologic deficits. Although initial reports were largely confined to chronic alcoholics, central pontine myelinolysis has also been seen in patients with electrolyte disturbances, particularly hyponatremia which has been rapidly corrected. The lesions on MR are seen best as areas of hypointensity on IR images and hyperintensity on T2-weighted images in the central pons with sparing of the pontine tegmentum and ventrolateral pons. Lesions have an oval shape on sagittal images, a bat-wing configuration on coronal images and various shapes on the axial images. The extrapontine lesions often resolve completely, leaving some residual pontine abnormality. Enhancement is not a feature of this disease, but severe cases may show peripheral enhancement of the pontine lesions.

ARTICLES Central pontine myelinolysis: correlation between CT and electrophysiologic data J Sztencel, D Baleriaux, S Borenstein, E Brunko and D Zegers de Beyl Because of the nature and location of the lesion in central pontine myelinolysis, considerable difficulties in diagnosis may arise. Computed tomography (CT) and brainstem auditory-evoked potentials are useful in following the spread and regression of the pontine lesion. The correlation between clinical evolution, serial CT scans, and brainstem auditory-evoked potentials is considered in a patient with central pontine myelinolysis and subsequent complete recovery with special emphasis on the evolution of the CT scan after recovery.
