Overview
Differentiating [Disease name] from other Diseases
On the basis central Pontine Myelinolysis must be differentiated diseases that cause acute confusion, lethargy, speech difficulties and bilateral weakness or quadriplegia such as:[1]
- Posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome
- Infective encephalitis
- Ischemic Brain stem infarction
- Thalamus infarction due thrombosis of the basilar artery
- Diffuse hypoxic encephalopathy
- Metastasis to the brain
- Brain tumors such as glioma
