Figure 1.
MR images of the brain in a 67-year-old man with cirrhosis of the liver, who developed extensive pontine myelinolysis due to overcorrection of hyponatremia (serum sodium, 167 mmol/L). Axial FLAIR (A), DWI (B), and ADC map (C) MR images of the brain obtained at the same level reveal large lesion (arrow) in the pons, with restricted diffusion. MR, magnetic resonance; FLAIR, fluid-attenuated inversion recovery; ADC, apparent diffusion coefficient; DWI, diffusion-weighted imaging.
