Abstract

We describe the case of a 61-year-old woman who developed extrapontine myelinolysis (EPM) with parkinsonism. Decreased striatal dopamine transporter binding assessed by tropane and single photon emission computed tomography ([¹²³I]IPT) SPECT) were observed in the patient, suggesting that osmotic injury causes the demyelination of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons and that such injury may be involved in the pathogenesis of EPM with parkinsonism.
