Central pontine myelinolysis (CPM), also known as osmotic demyelination syndrome, is a neurological disorder that most frequently occurs after too rapid medical correction of sodium deficiency (hyponatremia). The rapid rise in sodium concentration also involves the movement of small molecules and pulls water from brain cells that leads to the destruction of myelin, a substance that surrounds and protects nerve fibers. Nerve cells (neurons) also can be damaged.
