We present the first case of central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) confirmed by high resolution computerized tomography (CT) in which auditory brainstem responses (A BR) revealed impaired conduction beyond the mid pons. The combined use of CT and A BR in the diagnosis of central pontine myelinolysis is discussed.
