Exploring Uncommon Neurologic Complication in Young Diabetics with Osmotic Demyelination Syndrome: A Case Series and Literature Review

Year: 2024

Type: 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.
