Published in: BMJ case reports (2024)
The differential diagnosis of cortical demyelination includes laminar cortical necrosis, being the interpretation of Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) MRI sequence is a useful tool.This case underscores the need to investigate and improve diagnosis and treatment strategies in patients with ODS. It also emphasises the significance of careful hyponatremia correction and frequent monitoring, particularly in patients with known risk factors for ODS.
