    Author: Yoon B, Shim YS, Chung SW.
    Journal: Alcohol Alcohol; 2008; 43(6):647-9. PubMed ID: 18678596.
    Abstract:
    Central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) and extrapontine myelinolysis (EPM) are well-recognized syndromes that are related to various conditions such as rapid correction of hyponatremia and chronic alcoholism. We report a very case of a patient with dysarthria, dysphagia and psychiatric symptoms including abnormal behavior starting after alcohol withdrawal, with radiological evidence of CPM and EPM. There was little improvement in the dysarthria or psychiatric symptoms in the first month.
