MRI Findings In Osmotic Myelinolysis - A Study Of Six Patients syndrome and has characteristic CT and MR features in the central pons (centralpontine myelinolysis) and in other locations (extrapontine myelinolysis). http://www.srs.org.sg/html/day 2/scientific 1/myelin.html
Extractions: Reprint (PDF) Version of this Article OBJECTIVES Osmotic myelinolysis is a distinctive clinical syndrome and has characteristic CT and MR features in the central pons (central pontine myelinolysis) and in other locations (extrapontine myelinolysis). This study was undertaken to determine the MR appearance of these lesions in T1 weighted, T2 weighted and diffusion weighted sequences. MATERIALS AND METHODS We describe six patients who presented with deranged serum sodium levels and subsequently developed osmotic myelinolysis. CT scan and MRI scan were performed at various time interval prior and after onset of clinical signs of osmotic myelinolysis. RESULTS Low T1 and high T2 signal intensities were seen in the various sites of white matter in the cerebrum as well as the pons. Patchy enhancement of the lesions were noted. Diffusion-weighted images (DWI) were acquired for all cases, which consistently demonstrated hyperintensity in these lesions. The mechanism for the MR appearance is discussed. This has never been reported in the literature.

Extractions: We report a 63 year-old woman who developed central pontine and extrapontine myelinolysis after rapid correction of hyponatremia. Lesions on brain MRI showed hypermetabolism on 18FDG-PET scan in the early stage of the disease and became hypometabolic on the follow-up scan. We suggest that active microglia and astrocytes are the main cause of the increased glucose metabolism.

Extractions: Research Program Investigations of hyponatremia are ongoing and include studies of brain imaging. Currently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies of the brain during hyponatremia and after correction provide valuable information about the imaging appearance of this disease, its mechanism of action, and the potential mitigation of its effects. Planned for the near future are studies that may explore various treatments of hyponatremia. Select another research area Back to top Home About MRI ...

Extractions: From the Department of Neurology, Fukushima Medical University, Fukushima A 28-year-old woman was hospitalized with dysarthria and oro-mandibular and upper limb dystonia. Approximately 8 years prior to the current admission, the woman became severely hyponatremic due to traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage-related SIADH. Brain MRIs showed a signal increase in the central pons, thalamus and striatum on T2 weighted images compatible with central pontine and extrapontine myelinolysis. From a few months after that event, dystonia progressed slowly over the subsequent 8 years. We speculate that the particular damage chiefly to the myelin structures by myelinolytic process may have caused an extremely slow plastic reorganization of the neural structures, giving rise to progressive dystonia.

Extractions: Ayus and colleagues' report of hyponatremic encephalopathy with noncardiogenic pulmonary edema in marathon runners demonstrates the life-threatening potential of this syndrome and its treatment. The authors' use of intravenous hypertonic sodium chloride (514 mmol/L) resulted in an increase in plasma sodium levels (10 mmol/L in 12 hours) to twice the maximal rate recommended as optimal to avoid osmotic demyelination or central pontine myelinolysis (9 mmol/L per 24 hours) . Was there evidence of this lesion at autopsy in the runner with the lowest sodium level (117 mmol/L) who developed brain stem herniation during treatment? Exercise-related hypovolemic hyponatremia, as shown by low pulmonary wedge pressures in this study, might be more appropriately treated with intravenous isotonic sodium chloride (308 mmol/L) to enhance extracellular fluid volume while more gradually correcting plasma tonicity in the high-risk setting of rapid-onset osmotic dysequilibrium . Better understanding of this rare syndrome and potential complications during treatment may lead to safer outcomes and preventive strategies. Arthur J. Siegel, MD

Extractions: 167 cases, over 1000 figures at $139.00. Six months prior to presentation, this 13 year old girl developed fatigue and weight loss. She then presented with a generalized seizure and lapsed into coma for three days. Upon awakening, she was disoriented and inappropriate. An MR scan was obtained. Fig A Fig B Fig C Fig D Reversibility of T2-prolonging lesions has been documented, suggesting that they represent areas of edema and possibly microinfarction.

Extractions: Seizures in a patient with polydipsia and severe hyponatraemia. A case of a 40-year-old psychiatric patient is reported. Primarily, he was thought to have epileptic seizures, but demonstrated acute symptoms of severe hyponatraemia, plasma sodium was 106 mmol/l. Treatment was initiated with hypertonic saline until regression of symptoms, followed by slow correction of serum sodium to subnormal level. The patients outcome was good. This treatment is discussed focusing on the importance of an immediate onset, despite that the cause of hyponatraemia may be unknown. Reprints:
