“…This syndrome is a complication that is usually seen after rapid dialysis, especially when a patient has recently started undergoing hemodialysis [18]. The syndrome is considered to result from an osmotic gradient of unidentified osmotically active agents resulting in a hypotonic extracellular fluid [19]. These patients [10] that were seen in four of our patients.…”

In patients who develop osmotic demyelination syndrome after hemodialysis, the lesions may involve the pons or the pons and extrapontine sites. Most lesions that were followed up resolved rapidly and almost completely, favoring transient edema rather than demyelination. Blood chemistries suggested underlying changes in osmolality, particularly as a result of urea shift from the extracellular fluid.
