title: [Central pontine myelinolysis disclosed by severe pseudobulbar syndrome without motor involvement of the limbs].
abstract: A young alcoholic man, receiving diuretics, developed a marked pseudo bulbar syndrome after rapid correction of hyponatremia. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a central pontine myelinolysis, associated with extra-pontine lesions in both thalami. The patient fully recovered, despite persistent radiologic abnormality.
