Central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) and extrapontine myelinolysis (EPM) are well recognized syndromes related to rapid correction of hyponatremia and have been reported to show a variety of movement disorders. However, sequential observation of movement disorders as well as brain images has seldom been reported. We report a case of CPM and EPM presenting with various sequential changes in movement disorders including delayed choreic movement over 11 months; we present sequential brain magnetic resonance images showing increased T1 and decreased fat-suppression T1 signal intensity. We suggest that delayed low signal intensity, in the fat-suppression T1-weighted images, is a result of the destruction of myelin and by products. Damage to the myelin may cause various movement disorders in a delayed manner.
中央桥脑髓鞘溶解症(CPM)和脑桥外髓鞘溶解症(EPM)是与低钠血症快速纠正相关的公认综合征,据报道可出现多种运动障碍。然而,很少有关于运动障碍以及脑部影像的连续观察报道。我们报告一例CPM和EPM患者,其运动障碍呈现出各种连续变化,包括长达11个月的迟发性舞蹈样动作;我们展示了连续的脑磁共振图像,显示T1信号增强以及脂肪抑制T1信号强度降低。我们认为,脂肪抑制T1加权图像中的延迟低信号强度是髓鞘和副产品破坏的结果。髓鞘损伤可能会延迟导致各种运动障碍。
