Osmotic demyelination syndrome, abbreviated ODS, is a demyelination associated with osmotic imbalances.
It classically affect the pons and was previously known as central pontine myelinolysis.[1] The name was changed as it is now recognized that it can occur extrapontine.[2]
General
- Classically in the pons.
- Classically midline, ergo "central" was previously in the name.
- May occur elsewhere - previously referred to as extrapontine myelinolysis.
Etiology:
- Rapid correction of hyponatremia.[3]
- Tacrolimus post-liver transplant.[4]
- Associated with alcoholism and malnourishment.
Clinical:[5]
- Decreased level of consciousness - most common.
- Quadriplegia.
- Poor prognosis.
- May cause locked-in syndrome - in ability to produce voluntary responses with preservation of intellectual capcity.[6]
Microscopic
Features:[7]
- Myelin loss.
- No inflammation.
- Relative preservation of neurons.
