Overview
MRI
Brain and spinal cord MRIs may be helpful in the diagnosis of Central pontine myelinolysis. Findings on MRI diagnostic of Central pontine myelinolysis include:[1][2]
- Symmetric signal intensity abnormality in the central pons at T2-weighted and FLAIR imaging
- This may progress to classic hyperintense “trident-shaped” central pontine abnormality, with sparing of the ventrolateral pons and corticospinal tracts
- Decreased T1 signal intensity
- Fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) hyperintense lesion in the pons
- Intramedullary central T2 hyperintensity at axial T2W of spinal cord and sagittal T2W of thoracic spinal cord
