Extractions: Causes, incidence, and risk factors: The destruction of the myelin sheath that coats nerve cells prevents signals from being properly conducted within the nerve. This 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. It also can occasionally occur when high levels of sodium in the body (hypernatremia) are corrected too quickly. This condition does not occur on its own. It is a complication of treatment for other conditions or the other conditions themselves. People at risk include those with low sodium levels from any cause

Extractions: She has improved from assisted standing to self-gait walking (500 meters) over 6 weeks. Able to stand up on her own from a few limited sitting positions. Her right hand is able to hold a small cup of water. Taking a deep breath to hold on is still a difficulty. Rollover on bed is still very difficult. The strongest part of the four limbs at right leg is still having difficulty for coordinated movement. I am obviously more interested to know any chances of speeding up the process of re-myelination before it is too late. I started reading about the myelin reformation. Unfortunately, I cannot find any resources that confirm positively the process in adult brain cells. Nor is there any authority to rule out the process or point to the timing of a brain damage like CPM or other brain disorders. I started giving her Omega-3 oil, colloidal form minerals, Vitamin B6, B12. I read about IgG that may act with adult Oligodendroglia for the re-myelination process. So I give her chewable tablets of colostrums which contained high concentration of Immunoglobulin G. All these, being health food supplements, in my mind, should have minimal side effects.

Extractions: Would like to know if any research is being done on this disease on the brain stem (pons). I have it plus it has caused down beat nystagmus which prevents me from driving. The psychological impact is terrible. I also would like to find someone with this disease. So far I have not. CCF Neuro[P] MD, RPS Central pontine myelinosis is usually results from changes in the osmolarity (electrolyte and protein concentration) in the brain versus the blood stream. The abnormal difference between the two causes the myelin surrounding the nerve processes to become unraveled. This inturn causes dysfunction of the nerves in this area. This is not a disease, but the result from an abnormality.

Review of our patients with central pontine myelinolysis and those described in the English literature to data disclosed that 61 percent had documented hyponatremia. While the exact mechanism involving hyponatremia and central pontine myelinolysis cannot be defined, a circumstantial relationship is apparent. The purpose of this paper is to emphasize this relationship and to suggest that the possibility of central pontine myelinolysis be considered in any patient with hyponatremia and neurologic dysfunction.

Because of the common association with rapidly corrected hyponatraemia, the term "osmotic demyelination syndrome" has been proposed. The symptoms of central pontine myelinolysis are quadriparesis, pseudobulbar palsy and changing levels of consciousness, including coma and death. Histologically, the area of myelin breakdown is sharply demarcated and displays extensive loss of oligodendrocytes, infiltration with foamy macrophages and reactive astrocytosis. At MR the lesion is characterized by T2 hyperintensity in a central pontine location ( Fig.1 ); gadolinium enhancement may sometimes be present. Extrapontine sites of myelinolysis in the basal ganglia and midbrain, and subcortical white matter may also occur. Many entities can be considered in the differential diagnosis, including ischaemia, multiple sclerosis, encephalitis, toxic exposures, radiation therapy effects and brain stem gliomas. When present, the key to the MRI diagnosis is the bilateral involvement of the deep and capsular white matter, often accompanied by abnormalities in the thalami and basal ganglia.

Although the disease is usually self-limiting, patients may require rehydration therapy. Central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) is rare, with fewer than 30 cases reported in children. First described in 1959, it is a demyelinating process that affects the central pons and may involve other white matter areas. CPM presents with an altered
