(A) The T2-weighted magnetic resonance tomography shows a diffuse increase of signal intensity and edema in the pons during the acute phase of central pontine myelinolysis. (B) Four weeks later, the edema has resolved, but a trident-like substance defect in the pons remains (T2 weighting).

Magnetic resonance tomography revealed central pontine myelinolysis (Figure 1). No signs of peripheral neuropathy or central nervous system involvement other than a persistent substance defect caused by central pontine myelinolysis could be found (Figure 1).
