Article Synopsis
- Rapid overcorrection of chronic hyponatremia can cause osmotic demyelination syndrome (CPM), often leading to neurological issues.
- A case study highlights an adult who developed post-operative delirium and was later found to have CPM through MRI after a liver transplant, despite initially having no typical symptoms.
- The findings suggest that CPM may be more prevalent in patients with cirrhosis due to chronic hyponatremia and rapid sodium correction, stressing the need for careful management of hyponatremia to avoid serious complications.
