Akinetic mutism and involuntary movements following radical resection of hypothalamic glioma--case report.

A 3-year-old boy presented with an unusual consciousness disturbance accompanied by involuntary movement disorder after radical surgical removal of a huge hypothalamic glioma. Postoperative computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a lesion in the bilateral basal ganglia. Marked neurological improvement was obtained by treatment with dopamine agonists, suggesting that the disruption of the dopaminergic pathway via the hypothalamus was the cause of these neurological symptoms.

Traumatic mutism in severe head injury relieved by oral diazepam.

A 34-year-old woman with a severe closed-head injury had many impairments including apparent global aphasia. After a diazepam premedication for a motor point block she was heard to speak a few words. A trial of oral diazepam succeeded in restoring speech adequate to make her needs known, which persisted on a maintenance dose of 5 mg t.d.s. The possible diagnoses and reasons for this phenomenon are discussed. We suggest that diazepam may be useful in assessing speech in selected people with severe head injuries.
