Akinetic mutism after right internal watershed infarction.
We describe a 72-year-old man who developed akinetic mutism following a cerebrovascular accident involving his right internal watershed area and responded well to dopaminergic agonists. We discuss this rare condition and the unusual unilateral location of the lesion.

Methods The profiles of six adults with acquired dysgraphia in left- or right-hemisphere strokes were investigated by comparing their performance on word and pseudoword writin...
متن کاملVisuo-motor gain adaptation and generalization following left hemisphere stroke.
During gain adaptation, participants must learn to adapt to novel visuo-motor mappings in which the movement amplitudes they produce do not match the visual feedback they receive. The aim of the present study was to investigate the neural substrates of gain adaptation by examining its possible disruption following left hemisphere stroke. Thirteen chronic left hemisphere stroke patients and five...
متن کاملTransient mutism due to posterior circulation infarction.
Sir, Verbal mutism is described as the speechless state in a cognitively alert patient, without buccolingual apraxia. It has been a well-documented complication of resective surgery for posterior fossa tumors, especially in children. 1,2 However, there are only few reports of posterior fossa mutism that are not due to neuro-trauma or neuro-surgical trauma. 3-5 We report the case of transient mu...
متن کاملAkinetic mutism with bithalamic infarction. Neurophysiological correlates.
A 42-year-old man presented with akinetic mutism, caused by bilateral thalamic infarction, resulting in a temporary amnesic syndrome and, finally, selective downgaze palsy. Electroencephalographic recording in the initial phase showed generalized spike- and-wave discharges, similar to those found in animal studies after lesion or stimulation of specific thalamic nuclei. Analysis of magnetic res...
