ABSTRACT
A thirty-nine year old woman was consulted because of personality change, agitation and memory disturbance. She received chemotherapy and oral steroids because of carcinoma within the bronchus. She had a high serum osmolarity caused by hyperglycemia and hypernatremia, and it was corrected rapidly. Her brain MRI showed EPM (extrapontine myelinolysis). Brain SPECT showed hypoperfusion in the bilateral orbitofrontal regions. We report a patient with EPM with typical frontal lobe dysfunction as an initial manifestation and bilateral orbitofrontal hypoperfusion.
