Abstract
The central pontine myelinolysis is a metabolic disorder that affects the central nervous system; it is considered that a quick correction of hyponatremia leads to pontine and extra-pontine demyelination. This article briefly discusses some interesting aspects of this condition which is often diagnosed and should be known by the medical body that manages critical patients. (MED.UIS. 2010;23(2):120-5).
Key words: Mielinolisis hiperosmolar. Hyponatremia. Coma.
