Lesions in the frontal-subcortical circuitry can lead to akinetic mutism (AM) characterized by diminished volition. However, the microstructural changes in the damaged network underlying its recovery remain unknown. Clinical examination and neuropsychological assessment were performed on a patient with post-stroke AM.

Congenital ventricular aneurysms (CVA) are rare cardiac anomalies that have been predominantly described in the Black population. They are characterized by an akinetic ventricular protrusion that is commonly located at the basal and apical segments.

She had a stormy epilepsy onset at 4 years, with tonic seizures, atypical absences, and myoclonic-atonic seizures, in the absence of SE.

There has been only one previous published report of focal aware somatosensory seizures with paresis as a postoperative complication of chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH). This is the second case report of this condition captured on electroencephalography (EEG) as a postoperative complication of cSDH. A 76-year-old man with no history of epilepsy was taken to the emergency department of Shiga University of Medical Science Hospital because of transient weakness of the lower extremities.
