Central pontine myelinolysis syndrome as rare clinical manifestation of fatal refeeding syndrome: a case report / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

The most common neurological clinical manifestations of refeeding syndrome(RFS)are seizures and altered consciousness. This article presents a case in which central pontine myelinolysis(CPM) is a complication of RFS and describes its diagnosis and treatment process. This case highlights the importance of early cranial MRI examination to exclude CPM in patients with persistent hypoghosphatemia and altered consciousness during the course of RFS treatment.
