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

Extractions: C Y Chan, H S Lam, J R Jinkins IMAGE INTERPRETATION MR scans showede a 1 cm area of T2 hyperintensity in the central pontine region (Fig 1a) . In a patient with a history of sodium replacement, this finding is in keeping with osmotic myelinolysis (or central pontine myelinolysis). Multiple areas of T2 hyperintensity were seen in the basal ganglia and deep white matter (Fig 1b) , representing part of the same process. DIAGNOSIS Osmotic myelinolysis (central pontine myelinolysis) CLINICAL COURSE The patient did not improve clinically over the following months. She developed spastic tetraparesis, pseudobulbar palsy and horizontal nystagmus. Because of mutism, antidepressants were tried but they were not effective. She remained bed-ridden and ventilator-dependent. During her hospital stay, she developed several episodes of chest and urinary tract infection which were controlled with antibiotics. The patient finally died one year later due to multiple organ failure and sepsis. DISCUSSION Osmotic myelinolysis (OM) is a demyelinating disease that can develop following rapid correction of hyponatremia from any cause. It was originally described in chronic alcoholics. Other reported associations include malnourished status, renal failure, diabetes mellitus, and post-orthotopic liver transplantation

Extractions: Introduction Focal symmetric demyelination in the CNS may be precipitated by aggressive correction of a hyper or hypoosmolar state - osmotic myelinolysis.1 Since the first descriptions of central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) were put forth in 1959 in alcoholic patients, it has become evident that myelinolysis is not exclusively restricted to the pons. In many cases myelinolysis may share other brain regions, while in still others the pons may not be affected at all - extra-pontine myelinolysis(EPM).2 Hence, specific anatomical locations are more susceptible to demyelination than others.

Related Collections References Acute gastroenteritis is one of the most common childhood illnesses encountered today. Vomiting and diarrhea often cause dehydration. 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

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)
