Overview

On the basis central pontine myelinolysis must be differentiated diseases that cause acute confusion, lethargy, speech difficulties and bilateral weakness or quadriplegia such as: Posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome, infective encephalitis, ischemic Brain stem infarction, thalamus infarction due thrombosis of the basilar artery, diffuse hypoxic encephalopathy, metastasis to the brain and brain tumors such as glioma.
