چکیده
Received: 13.05.2016; Accepted: 10.08.2016 Fig. 1: (A) Axial T1 weighted MRI demonstrates Mexican hat shaped hypointense signal in pons. (B, C) Axial T2 and FLAIR sequence demonstrates Mexican hat shaped hyperintense signal in pons. (D) DWI demonstrates restricted diffusion in central pons. Fig. 2: (A, B, C) Axial T1 hypointense with T2 and FLAIR hyperintense signal in bilateral basal ganglia. (D) DWI shows restricted diffusion in bilateral basal ganglia.

Osmotic demyelination syndrome in a 40-day-old infant.
Osmotic demyelination syndrome refers to the myelin destruction of various brain structures that follows osmotic stress. It affects myelinated brain; therefore, it is very rare in babies and it has not been reported in patients younger than 10 months of age. Herein, we present a 40-day-old infant with osmotic demyelination syndrome, along with imaging findings. Her pontine and thalamic lesions ...
متن کاملAstrocytes are an early target in osmotic demyelination syndrome.
Abrupt osmotic changes during rapid correction of chronic hyponatremia result in demyelinative brain lesions, but the sequence of events linking rapid osmotic changes to myelin loss is not yet understood. Here, in a rat model of osmotic demyelination syndrome, we found that massive astrocyte death occurred after rapid correction of hyponatremia, delineating the regions of future myelin loss. As...

متن کاملCortical Laminar Necrosis associated with Osmotic Demyelination Syndrome
Cortical laminar necrosis has been rarely observed in osmotic demyelination syndrome. We report a 32-year-old female patient who became comatose after the rapid correction of hyponatremia. There were high signal intensities in the pons and bilateral deep gray nuclei on T2-weighted MRI images, and linear hyperintensities along the cerebral cortices on T1-weighted images with a diffuse gyriform e...
