Abstract Three cases of bilateral anterior cerebral artery occlusion are presented with akinetic mutism. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

At present there are no acute treatment strategies that have been identified that have been shown to alter the natural course of this disorder. [doi.org]

• Periodic Lateralized Epileptiform Discharges

  Electroencephalography, 24h after admission, showed bilateral independent periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges (BIPLEDs) in the frontal region and diffuse theta and polymorphic delta activity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

There is no generally accepted treatment, and it is not known if late treatments are effective. The relationship between AKM and abulia is uncertain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This may be the first potential acute treatment for this rare neurologic condition. [doi.org]

The literature is reviewed, the possible pathophysiological mechanism of akinetic mutism is considered and the association between these two conditions is explored with an attempt to address the roles of medical treatment and surgery and to discuss prognosis [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The prognosis of the condition is often poor as in our patient and seems independent of the presence or absence of ‘frontal lobe syndrome’ symptomatology [ 3, 6 ]. [academic.oup.com]

The prognosis of hypoglycemic encephalopathy depends on co morbidities, associated medical complications, early recognition and treatment, extent of neuroimaging findings and its reversibility. [ijcasereportsandimages.com]

Cerebrovascular diseases are the most frequent etiology. It has been reported in cyclosporine-related neurotoxicity, but it is exceptional as the presenting form of tacrolimus intoxication. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
