MR FINDINGS IN 2 PRESUMED CASES OF MILD CENTRAL PONTINE MYELINOLYSIS

The authors describe two patients with presumed central pontine myelin olysis whose clinical symptoms were mild despite extensive intrapontin e lesions evident on MR imaging. Enhancement of the lesions with Gd-DT PA was not observed in either case. It is suggested that the severity of findings on MR imaging does not necessarily reflect the severity of clinical symptoms of the disease.
