Central pontine myelinosis is a demyelinating lesion in the pons. It is a complication of treatment of patients with profound, life threatening hyponatraemia. It occurs as a consequence of a rapid rise in serum tonicity following treatment in individuals with chronic severe hyponatraemia who have made intracellular adaptations to the prevailing hypotonicity.
