Abstract

Central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) is a non-inflammatory neurological condition with various clinical features and onset patterns and also with a very wide prognostic spectrum ranging from asymptomatic cases to encephalopathy and mortality. In this case report we, aim to present the first case of central pontine myelinolysis as a result of an optimally corrected hyponatremia in a post-COVID-19 patient our knowledge while assessing the clinical and radiological findings.
