Pathologic features include prominent demyelination in the central PONS with sparing of axons and neurons . This condition is usually associated with systemic disorders such as HYPONATREMIA ; chronic ALCOHOLISM LIVER FAILURE ; severe BURNS ; malignant NEOPLASMS ; hemorrhagic PANCREATITIS; HEMODIALYSIS; and SEPSIS . The rapid medical correction of hyponatremia has been cited as a cause of this condition. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology , 6th ed, pp1125-6)
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

PubMed Robert Laureno, MD and Barbara Illowsky Karp, MD Myelinolysis is a neurologic disorder that can occur after rapid correction of hyponatremia.Initially named "central pontine myelinolysis," this disease is now known to also affect extrapontine brain areas. Manifestations of myelinolysis usually evolve several days after correction of hyponatremia. Typical features are disorders of upper motor neurons, spastic quadriparesis and pseudobulbar palsy, and mental disorders ranging from mild confusion to coma. Death may occur. The motor and localizing signs of myelinolysis differ from the generalized encephalopathy that is caused by untreated hyponatremia.

The clinical, radiologic, and neuropathologic findings in 13 patients with central pontine myelinolysis were reviewed. Antemortem computed tomography (CT) had been performed in nine, and ante- or postmortem magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in 11. Chronic alcoholism or rapid correction of hyponatremia was present in over 75% of cases. One CT scan was positive, but only on

Central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) is an uncommon disorder initially described in alcoholic or malnourished patients. Recent reports suggest an aetiological association with abnormalities of serum sodium. A physically unwell non-alcoholic chronic schizophrenic patient, whose symptoms led to psychiatric referral, died of CPM. A review of the literature reveals that
