Abstract Central pontine myelinosis(CPM) is a rare neurologic condition most frequently caused by the rapid correction of hyponatremia due to demyelination which is non inflammatory. Here we report a case of 55 years old male presented with sudden onset of abnormal movements of the whole body with reduced alertness and difficulty in swallowing. On evaluation MRI brain shows lesions in the pons which is suggestive of central pontine myelinosis. It is characterized by damage to regions of the brain, most commonly pontine white matter infarcts, after correction of metabolic disturbances such as hyponatremia. The condition is rarely seen due to under-diagnosis.
