A complementary investigation was performed with cranial computed tomography, which showed only a previous small left lacunar stroke (Figure 1); electroencephalogram, which showed changes suggestive of toxic-metabolic damage to the central nervous system; cerebrospinal fluid analysis, which was normal; and cranial magnetic resonance, which revealed changes suggestive of pontine myelinolysis (Figure 2).

After two years, her neurological status was the same as before the central pontine myelinolysis event, and her cranial computed tomography revealed a hypoattenuating focal area in the central region of the pons (Figure 3).
