warning

"Osmotic demyelination syndrome is the preferred term, replacing central pontine myelinolysis (CPM), recognising that extrapontine structures can also be affected, previously known as extrapontine myelinolysis (EPM)."

Line 3:68 · Generally, don't use bold in text: 'central pontine myelinolysis (CPM)'

Line 3:204 · Generally, don't use bold in text: 'extrapontine myelinolysis (EPM)'

Illusions

warning

"The initial description of this pathology as central pontine myelinolysis was made by Adams et al. in 1959 in a a population of patients with chronic alcohol use ²."

"PET"

Line 47:1 · "PET" is not a recognised heading for this article type.

Inline EG

suggestion

"rapid electrolyte correction (e.g. correction of hyponatraemia)"

Line 9:37 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.

Commas

suggestion

"Similar signal changes are seen in other extrapontine regions of the brain, including but not limited to, in decreasing order of frequency, the cerebellum, lateral geniculate body, external capsule, extreme capsule, hippocampus, putamen, cerebral cortex, thalamus, and caudate nucleus ¹⁵."

Line 36:78 · More than 5 commas in a single sentence might make it more difficult to read.
