title: Temporal changes of MR findings in central pontine myelinolysis.
abstract: We report central pontine myelinolysis in orthotopic liver transplant patients. Sequential MR imaging of these patients with central pontine myelinolysis shows progressive decrease of T2-weighted MR signal in the pons, which may not resolve despite complete neurologic recovery.
