- W2045372425 abstract "purpose: Severe hyponatremia is often associated with permanent brain damage. There has been substantial controversy about whether central pontine myelinolysis (CPM), a rare neurologic disorder of uncertain etiology, can complicate either hyponatremia or its therapy. This study was undertaken to determine how often hyponatremic patients with the clinical diagnosis of CPM actually have the disorder as an integral structural component of their encephalopathy. patients: Analyses were carried out in 20 patients who had severe symptomatic hyponatremia and a presumptive diagnosis of CPM, based on clinical and/or neuroradiologic findings. All had been referred for neuroradiology consultation. The mean age (± SD) was 47 ± 14 years, the lowest serum sodium level was 104 ± 8 mM, and 85% of the patients were female. The etiologies were diverse and included postoperative status, thiazide diuretics, polydipsia, infection, acute renal failure, chronic alcoholism with emesis, and beer potomania. methods: The original and subsequent films of 20 patients were reevaluated retrospectively by two neuroradiologists. The clinical course was also reevaluated, and in eight patients, the postmortem brain findings were reviewed. The diagnosis of CPM was made only on the basis of strict criteria relating to either (1) pathologic findings of CPM on postmortem examination; or (2) computed tomographic scan and/or magnetic resonance imaging findings diagnostic of CPM. results: No pontine lesions were present in 15 of 20 patients in whom the diagnosis of CPM had initially been made. All 15 had extrapontine demyelinating lesions but the pons was normal. Two others had only lateral pontine lesions, so that only three of 20 patients had definite CPM. All but one of the 20 hyponatremic patients had a definite hypoxic event prior to any therapy with intravenous sodium chloride. The involved brain areas included basal ganglia, thalamus, cortical gray matter, and periventricular white matter, areas often affected by hypoxia. Each of the three patients in whom unequivocal findings of CPM were present had long histories of chronic alcoholism and hepatic cirrhosis. conclusions: These results suggest that: (1) Neither hyponatremic encephalopathy nor its therapy is commonly associated with CPM; (2) Patients with chronic alcoholism who also become hyponatremic can develop pontine demyelinating lesions; (3) Most patients with symptomatic hyponatremia who are diagnosed as having CPM in fact have diffuse cerebral demyelinating lesions with a normal pons; (4) The distribution of cerebral demyelinating lesions in patients with hyponatremic encephalopathy is compatible with hypoxic damage." @default.
