Overview

Treatment of patients with central pontine myelinolysis is mainly supportive because once the osmotic demyelination has begun, there is no cure or specific treatment. Alcoholic patients should receive vitamin supplementation including vitamin B6, B9, and B12 and evaluation of their nutritional status.
