An adult cat was presented with the history of 3 months' weight loss and more recent
loss of balance
and ataxia. An abdominal mass was palpable; results of neurologic examination suggested a brainstem disorder. The owners elected euthanasia. Postmortem findings included suppurative jejunal
lymphadenitis
and bilateral demyelination in the ventral pons with sparing of axons and neuronal soma. The location and character of the lesion mimicked those of human central pontine myelinolysis, an iatrogenic condition that may follow rapid correction of hyponatremia or develop spontaneously in patients with malnutrition or energy deprivation. In this cat, the poor nutritional state may have contributed to the development of this novel pontine lesion.
