Amin A Faris 1,2,1, Loran D Fleckenstein 1,2
PMCID: PMC493546  PMID: 5478948

Abstract

Clinical and neuropathological features of a case of subacute necrotizing encephalomyelopathy are discussed and compared with the features of central pontine myelinolysis. A hypothesis is offered relating the two diseases to a common aetiological factor.
