Reversible central pontine and extrapontine myelinolysis in a 16-year-old girl.

L Niehaus1, A Kulozik, R Lehmann.   

Abstract

A rare case of an osmotic demyelination syndrome in a 16-year-old girl is presented. MRI in the acute stage revealed a focal abnormal signal within the basis pontis and both caudate nuclei and putamina. Two years later brain lesions had disappeared on T1- and T2-weighted imaging, indicating that central pontine and extrapontine myelinolysis may be completely reversible.
