title: Recovery after central pontine myelinolysis.
abstract: Central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) is known to be almost universally fatal. Most published cases are based on autopsy reports, whereas antemortem diagnosis is rare. We present a case in which the diagnosis of CPM was confirmed by computed tomography (CT); the patient had two symptoms not previously reported and made a remarkable recovery.
