Abstract
Osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS) is a clinic-pathologic entity characterized by edema and demyelination of pons and extra pontine area. It frequently occurs as a result of rapid correction of chronic hyponatremia. It is characterized by altered sensorium and neurological deficits. Diagnosis of ODS is often difficult. MRI brain remains the gold standard for diagnosis. Here, we reported a case of osmotic demyelination syndrome resulting from rapid correction of hyponatremia. Through this case, we would like to illustrate the classical MRI brain findings of ODS.
