  • Title: [Development of central pontin myelinolysis in a patient with light hyponatraemia].
    Author: Dornonville de la Cour K.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2013 Sep 23; 175(39):2254-5. PubMed ID: 24063712.
    Abstract:
    Central pontin myelinolysis has since the 1970s been correlated with hyponatraemia. A 56-year-old woman was admitted to hospital after a few days of diminished capacity and acute disorientation and respiratory distress. Initially, her alcohol overconsumption was not recognised. She presented with only a light hyponatraemia and sepsis. Following fluid resuscitation she developed hypernatraemia and was later diagnosed with osmotic demyelination syndrome. Despite several weeks of therapy the outcome was fatal.
