AbstractCentral pontine myelinolysis (CPM) may be more prevalent after liver transplantation (OLT). Central pontine and extrapontine myelinolysis (CPEM) is rare. The occurence of CPM may be associated with hyponatremia, a rapid rise in serum sodium concentrations, postoperatively increased plasma osmolality, and the duration of the operation. Only 1 patient had abnormal sodium levels before LT. No abnormalities were detected in immunosuppressive drug blood levels. The aim of this paper was to report our experience with CPEM among LT patients.Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
