[Central pontine myelinolysis].
The authors describe a case of central pontine myelinolysis in a 43-year-old female alcoholic, confirmed by post-mortem examination, as for technical reasons in lifetime neither CT nor MR examinations could be made. Despite the relatively scarce incidence of the disease, as mentioned in the literature, this possibility must be taken into consideration in particular in young alcoholics.
