## Abstract Normal activity of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex was found in platelet‐enriched preparations from two siblings with Friedreich's ataxia who had been reported previously as being deficient in this enzyme.

reporting the youngest affected patient.
Central pontine myelinolysis is attributed to overly rapid correction of hyponatremia, as occurred in this patient, although the precise mechanism is not known 12, 31. In two experimental models, central pontine myelinolysis has been produced in rats and dogs by rapid correction of hyponatremia f2, 3).
