    Author: Choi S, Lee SH, Kim ES, Eoh W.
    Journal: Br J Neurosurg; 2013 Aug; 27(4):529-31. PubMed ID: 23472625.
    Abstract:
    Delayed post-hypoxic leucoencephalopathy is a demyelinating syndrome characterized by acute onset of neuropsychiatric symptoms including parkinsonism or akinetic mutism that occurs days to weeks after recovery from cerebral hypo-oxygenation. We encountered a patient who presented with an akinetic mute state late after cervical cord injury without a definite hypoxic event.
