TLDR
Under adequate treatment the neurological symptoms disappeared in all cases and the importance of this factor in the pathogenesis of hyponatraemia may be explained by sodium deficiency in the diet, the absorption of large quantities of water, and the possible role of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone in these alcoholic patients.About:

Diagnosis, Evaluation, and Treatment of Hyponatremia: Expert Panel Recommendations
Joseph G. Verbalis,Steven R. Goldsmith,Arthur Greenberg,Cynthia A. Korzelius,Robert W. Schrier,Richard H. Sterns,Christopher J. Thompson +6 more
TL;DR: The updated expert panel recommendations in this document represent recommended approaches for multiple etiologies of hyponatremia that are based on both consensus opinions of experts in hypon atremia and the most recent published data in this field.

Osmotic demyelination syndrome following correction of hyponatremia
TL;DR: It is suggested that the osmotic demyelination syndrome is a preventable complication of overly rapid correction of chronic hyponatremia, which developed after the patients presented with severe hypon atremia.

Allen I. Arieff,Raul Guisado +1 more
TL;DR: The purpose of the present paper is to review the clinical, anatomical and biochemical changes in the central nervous system induced by hypo- and hypernatremic states, and to attempt to correlate these changes with the observedcentral nervous system disorders.

Central Pontine Myelinolysis: A Hitherto Undescribed Disease Occurring in Alcoholic and Malnourished Patients
TL;DR: Three, perhaps four, cases were observed in which the myelin sheaths of all the nerve fibers in the central part of the basis pontis had been destroyed in a single, large, symmetric focus, leading to death in about 13 and 26 days.

Factors that limit brain volume changes in response to acute and sustained hyper- and hyponatremia.
TL;DR: The brain protects itself from acute volume changes in response to change in Na(E) by the freedom for Na and Cl to move from the Cl space, by V(i) not changing acutely to the degree predicted from osmotic properties of cells in general, and by significant quantities of Na and K in brain are osmotically inactive.

Profound Hyponatremia Resulting from a Thiazide-Induced Decrease in Urinary Diluting Capacity in a Patient with Primary Polydipsia
TL;DR: Primary polydipsia, whether "psychogenic" or neurogenic, is seldom associated with clinical manifestations other than the resultant polyuria and, when they are present, symptoms of an underlying em...
