Discussion:

The patient had a history of chronic alcohol abuse. After the last acute poisoning, she fell into a coma and was transported to ICU. In 5 days of infusive therapy, she was discharged with the symptoms written above.

Considering the history and typical radiological findings, the diagnosis of the central pontine myelinolysis (osmotic demyelination syndrome) seems obvious.
