Central pontine myelinolysis

Abstract: A 9 year old boy presented with fever, drowsiness, quadriparesis and facial myokymia. MRI showed demyelination in the pontine region. A diagnosis of central pontine myelinolysis was made. Literature review revealed the rarity of uneventful recovery as has been seen in our case.

“…Subvalvular (subaortic) stenosis has discrete fibro muscular shelf below the aortic valve, obstruction to left ventricular outflow tract frequently associated with other forms of congenital cardiac disease may progress rapidly in severity but rarely diagnosed in infancy, become apparent after successful surgery for other cardiac defects such as Coartaction of aorta, PDA, VSD etc. Shone complex is characterized by muscular or membranous subvalvular aortic stenosis, coarctation of aorta, supravalvular mitral membrane and parachute mitral valve, or discrete juxtaductal coarctation, the ascending aortic blood flows through the narrowed segment to reach the descending aorta causes left ventricular hypertrophy [15]. Dominant isolated PS 8(7.9%) while two other cases had small VSD classified as PS + VSD rather than TOF and another PS + ASD.…”
