ABSTRACT

Central pontine myelinolysis occurs due to demyelination of the myelin sheath of the neurons of the Pons region of the brain stem, which may have different neurological symptoms. The case presented in our study was a 29-year-old pregnant woman who had no signs of neurological findings and was asymptomatic. The cause of the occurrence of Central pontine myelinolysis is mainly due to the incorrect correction of blood electrolytes. However, she did not show any clear electrolyte disturbances, which rejects that as an etiologic cause of this case. The similarity of this patient with other cases was malnutrition due to hyperemesis gravidium. However, Regarding to four weeks postpartum MRI, CPM complication was eliminated and normal MRI results were reported.
