Abstract
First described by Adams et al., central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) is a rare neurological disorder of unknown pathogenesis that is characterized by demyelinating lesions localized mostly in the pons. It is caused by rapid normalization of serum sodium in patients with chronic hyponatremia [1]. We present a case of CPM in a 52-year-old male in whom the condition developed in the setting of relatively mild hyponatremia despite appropriate correction of the serum sodium level.
