摘要
Central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) is a rare complication of alcoholism. There have been recent reports that hyponatremia and its rapid correction are of aetiological significance in the development of CPM. We describe the case of a 47-year-old alcoholic who developed CPM and subsequently recovered. Alcoholic and psychiatric patients are at risk for CPM and clinicians need to have a high index of suspicion to diagnose this condition.
