Overview

Central pontine myelinolysis was first discovered by Raymond Delacy Adams, an an American neurologist, in 1959. Raymond Delacy Adams and colleagues observed a rapidly evolving quadriplegia and pseudobulbar palsy in a young alcoholic man whose postmortem examination showed a large, symmetrical, essentially demyelinative lesion occupying the greater part of the base of the pons In 1950.
