Computerized tomography in Central pontine myelinolysis

Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, Torrance, California (Drs. Anderson, Moore, Grinnell, and Itabadu) and the University of California, Los Angeles, School of Medicine, Los Angeles, California (Drs. Grinnell and Itabashi).

We describe an autopsy-proven case of central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) with premortem computerized tomographic (CT) visualization of the lesion on two scans, performed with an interval of 2 weeks. This case demonstrates the capability of CT to support the clinical diagnosis of central pontine myeI.inolysis. Identification of the condition should facilitate prompt initiation-of aggressive supportive care.
