| Popis: | A case of central pontine myelinolysis, the 19th so far published or communicated, is described in a Jewish woman of Yemenite extraction who had suffered for 12 years prior to her death from a mental condition diagnosed as chronic schizophrenia. Anatomo-pathologically the pontine lesion was similar to those described in previous cases, except that in this case there were “pools” of mucoid material present in it. The lesion developed in the absence of alcoholism and in association with a state of general dehydration and electrolyte imbalance in the patient. |
