Two cases of pontine and extrapontine myelinolysis following electrolyte derangements are presented. One case showed only extrapontine myelinolytic lesions on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, although both pontine and extrapontine myelinolysis were confirmed at postmortem. Another case made full recovery clinically with resolution of extrapontine lesions on MR imaging.
