Regional cerebral blood flow and oxygen metabolism in a patient with Korsakoff syndrome.

abstract：:Osmotic demyelination syndrome can result from the rapid correction of hyponatremia, and is categorized by central pontine myelinolysis and extrapontine myelinolysis (EPM). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is currently the most useful modality for visualizing EPM lesions. However, MRI is unable to delineate the severi...
