Incidentally Detected Hypermetabolism in Pons Suggestive of Pontine Myelinolysis on 18F-FDG PET/CT Scan

Central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) is demyelinating condition of pons caused by osmotic stress due to rapid correction of hyponatremia. We present a case where CPM was an incidental finding on FDG PET/CT scan. To the best of our knowledge, only 3 case reports have been published till date describing CPM on 18F-FDG PET/CT scans.
