AI Article Synopsis
- Osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS) is usually linked to fast treatment of low sodium levels (hyponatremia), but its connection to high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) in diabetics is not well explored.
- This report discusses two young patients who developed ODS alongside hyperglycemia, highlighting that they experienced central pontine and extrapontine myelinolysis.
- The cases emphasize the need to understand the neurological risks associated with high blood sugar levels.*
Article Abstract
Osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS) is well known to be associated with the rapid correction of hyponatremia. However, there is limited literature on its link to persistent or corrected hyperglycemic states in diabetic patients. We report two young patients with ODS and hyperglycemia. Neuroimaging and blood tests indicated central pontine and extrapontine myelinolysis with a hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state (HHS). These unusual cases provide insight into the neurologic complications of hyperglycemia.
