Osmotic Demyelination Syndrome in a Patient with Hypokalemia but No Hyponatremia

Figure 2

MRI images show central pontine T1 moderately hypointense areas (a), T2 and FLAIR areas of hyperintensity at the level of the pons (b, c, d, f), including an area trident-shaped of hyperintensity at the level of the pons on axial T2 (b) (typical appearances of the pons in osmotic demyelination syndrome), that extends to cerebellar peduncles (b, e); after gadolinium, there was no enhancement (g).
