Osmotic demyelination syndrome in an uncontrolled type 2 diabetic – a case report
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Osmotic demyelination syndrome is a demyelinating disorder commonly involving the pontine region, midbrain, cerebellum, thalamus and basal nuclei. The pathophysiology behind it is a sudden shift in the serum osmolality and is often seen in patients undergoing rapid correction of hyponatraemia. Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder with hyperglycemia. Long standing poorly controlled diabetics develop neuropathy. It manifests as polyneuropathy, mononeuropathy, and autonomic neuropathy. Ischemic strokes are also common in diabetics. There are few articles of diabetes mellitus associated with osmotic demyelination syndrome.
