Description:
Akinetic mustism is a dramatic deficit in spontaneous initiation of voluntary motor and speech acts, usually secondary to bilateral lesions of the anterior cingulate cortices and supplementary motor areas [Principles of Neurology, McGraw-Hill, New York, 1989]. Given the obvious limitations of traditional neuropsychological testing in this clinical context, the use of neurophysiological tools such as bedside auditory cognitive event-related potentials (ERPs), recently proven to be relevant to evaluate comatose and vegetative patients [Clin. Neurophysiol. 110 (9) (1999) 1601; News Physiol. Sci. 17 (2002) 38], may constitute an interesting alternative. Here, we present the ERPs of a 38-year-old right-handed woman with severe akinetic mutism recorded in a passive auditory odd-ball paradigm. In spite of this severe clinical state, we could observe the presence of a ''Mismatch Negativity'', and of a larger P300 in rare trials than in frequent ones. By revealing a high level of cognitive integration of environmental auditory information, our study emphasizes the potential clinical relevance of MMN and P300 recordings in akinetic mutism to assess patient cognitive functioning. ...
