title: Serial magnetic resonance imaging of central pontine myelinolysis.
abstract: Central Pontine Myelinolysis (CPM) is a rare neurologic complication after liver transplantation. The true incidence of CPM after orthotopic liver transplantation remains an estimate. However, with the introduction of magnetic resonance imaging, early recognition became feasible. In this report, we present a case of rapid resolution of CPM followed by serial magnetic resonance imaging scans.
