- Abstract
- Central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) is a neurologic disorder that is usually related to rapid correction of hyponatremia
and chronic alcoholism. CPM involves concentrated, symmetric, noninflammatory demyelination within the central
pons; this pathology also occurs in extrapontine regions. Frequently observed clinical manifestations are sudden
weakness, dysphagia, dysarthria, loss of consciousness, and locked-in syndrome. We describe herein a case of CPM
predominated by cerebellar signs without typical symptoms, but with involvement of the cerebellum or cerebellar
peduncle. Key Words: Central pontine myelinolysis (CPM), Cerebellar ataxia
