Keywords: alcoholism, central pontine myelinolysis, forensic science, hypernatremia, hyponatremia, hypothermia, malnutrition, pathology and biology, saline infusion Abstract: We report four cases of central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) that illustrate important features of the disorder. The condition is described mainly in the neurological literature and, to our knowledge, is not discussed in the forensic science journals. This disorder must be recognized and understood by the forensic science expert who addresses issues of liability. In cases of multiple motor deficits and death with a history of hyponatremia, CPM must be included in the differential diagnosis. Careful examination of the pons and adjoining structures must be performed. Myelin stains are advisable. The association of CPM with major illnesses, hyponatremia and the correction of hyponatremia by intravenous saline infusions is discussed. Return to Search Page

Extracted from IndMED Joshi SR; Deshpande AK; Shah SC. Central pontine myelinolysis : an iatrogenic sequelae of hyponatraemia management ? The Indian Practitioner. 1997 Jan; 50(1): 61-7 ABSTRACT: A 45 year old male alcoholic in an unconscious state with abnormal posture had hyperreflexia with extensor plantars. His hyponatraemia was corrected, yet he deteriorated and died. C T showed pontine and extrapontine myelinolysis which was confirmed on autopsy. This highlights the need for careful management of severe hyponatraemia and the role of gradual correction for the same. (The Ind. Pract. 1997; 50(1): 61-67).

Health Encyclopedia Back to main Health Information page Disease - Central pontine myelinolysis Central nervous system Definition: Central pontine myelinolysis is a condition characterized by nerve damage caused by the destruction of the covering layer ( myelin sheath) of nerve cells in the brainstem (pons). Alternative Names: CPM Causes And Risk: The destruction of the myelin sheath that coats nerves inhibits impulse conduction within the cell and thus decreases its ability to communicate with other cells. The most common cause of central pontine myelinolysis is a rapid, drastic change in sodium levels in the body. Most commonly, this occurs when someone is being treated for low levels of sodium ( hyponatremia ) and the levels rise too fast, but it can occasionally occur when high levels of sodium in the body (hypernatremia) are corrected too quickly. This condition does not occur spontaneously; it is a complication of either treatment for other conditions or the other conditions themselves. Risks include hyponatremia from any cause.

Causes and Risks The destruction of the myelin sheath inhibits impulse conduction along the nerve cell. The most common cause of this condition is rapid correction of low sodium levels in the body (hyponatremia). Less commonly, this also occurs from rapid correction of high levels of sodium in the body (hypernatremia). Risks include hyponatremia from any cause.

ADVANCED IMAGING CENTER PHYSICIAN NEWS August 28, 2000 INTERESTING CASE PRESENTATION: Central Pontine Myelinolysis (CPM) Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3 Fig. 4 CLINICAL PRESENTATION: This 50-year-old male patient presented to the office of Dr. Jensen with numbness in the left aspect of the body. A brain MRI was ordered by Dr. David Jensen and Dr. Janumpally . Further history from the patient revealed history of chronic alcohol use. MRI FINDINGS: A brain MRI with and without gadolinium contrast was performed on AIC's high-field 1.5 Tesla Siemens Symphony scanner. Fig. 1 shows a midline sagittal T1 weighted image. Fig. 2-4 show the axial T1 weighted, turbo T2 weighted, and turbo FLAIR images, respectively, through the pons. There is a 2 x 2.5 cm abnormality occupying the majority of the pons characterized by low T1 and high T2 and FLAIR signal intensity. The pons is not enlarged. There is no mass effect on the 4th ventricle and no midline shift. No abnormal enhancement was observed on post-contrast images (not shown). MR diffusion and perfusion studies (not shown) were also negative for any acute infarct.

In 1959 year Adams, Victor and Mancella described central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) as a disease of fulminant course and fatal prognosis. In the typical cases progressive tetraparesis with bulbar signs results in severe crippledom or death. The disease was diagnosed before only by autopsy, as soon as the modern radiological technics i.e. CT and MRI were developed it is sometimes successfully diagnosed with patients alive. The authors present the case of 62-year old woman suffering from slight hemiparesis which made us to perform the CT examination. It showed central pontine lesion which was confirmed by MRI examination. The authors suggest that there are not only typical cases of CPM but also the asymptomatic ones as presented above.
