Overview
The symptoms of central pontine myelinolysis typically develop immediately after injury to the neurons of the brain stem. Patients, with Central Pontine Myelinolysis, may develop permanent neurological damages. Common complications of central pontine myelinolysis include: Locked-in syndrome, quadriparesis, ataxia, acute Psychosis, pseudobulbar palsy, parkinson's disease symptoms, dystonia, pneumonia, coma and death. The mortality of patients with central pontine myelinolysis is approximately 8% in the acute setting. Approximately 65% of patients with central pontine myelinolysis may achieve a good or moderate outcome (no functional deficit or independence despite minor deficits). Depending on the time of the diagnosis, the prognosis may vary and the disease may be potentially reversible when therapeutic interventions are initiated rapidly.
