Overview

Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis

Natural History

  • The symptoms of central pontine myelinolysis typically develop immediately after injury to the neurons of the brain stem.

Complications

  • Patients, with Central Pontine Myelinolysis, may develop permanent neurological damages.

Prognosis

  • Prognosis is generally excellent/good/poor, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with central pontine myelinolysis is approximately [--]%.
  • Depending on the time of the diagnosis, the prognosis may vary and the disease may be potentially reversible when therapeutic interventions are initiated rapidly.


  • The presence of [characteristic of disease] is associated with a particularly [good/poor] prognosis among patients with central pontine myelinolysis.
  • [Subtype of disease/malignancy] is associated with the most favorable prognosis.
  • The prognosis varies with the [characteristic] of the tumor; [subtype of disease/malignancy] have the most favorable prognosis.
