ABSTRACT
Tha case of a 55 year old man who presented with severe global headache 8 hours after having been drinking heavily, and who over a two hour period developed deep coma and flaccid paralysis of all four extremities is reported. A CT scan of the brain was normal; however, on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) extensive hyperintense areas in the brain stem, mainly in the pons, were easily identified. Based upon the clinical and MRI findings a diagnosis of Central Pontine Myelinolysis was made. Following several months of supportive therapy the patient partially recovered and was able to leave the hospital.
