RESUMEN
Central pontine myelinolysis (CPM)is a demyelinating disorder that affects pons and is characterized by disturbance of consciousness, quadriparesis, and mutism and has been considered to have poor prognosis. It commonly occurs in patients with rapidly corrected hyponatremia. However, hypoglycemia induced CPM has been rarely reported. Diagnosis is confirmed by MR imaging. Here we report a case of CPM after severe hypoglycemia without any electrolyte disturbance in a patients with diabetic nephropathy.
