Abstract
A 19-year-old student developed hypoventilation and cyanosis at the end of a cosmetic liposuction procedure. She was awake, but severely abulic, disoriented, and unable to stand and walk due to severe locomotor ataxia. Neuropsychological evaluation showed psychomotor slowness, and deficits in memory encoding and retrieval, and on executive, and visuospatial and visuoperceptual tests; oral comprehension and constructional praxis were spared. ¹H-MRS showed a reduction of NAA. A year later, her cognitive and neurological exam, and NAA returned to normal, and she resumed her normal life. The severity of the acute manifestations of hypoxic encephalopathy not always entail a poor prognosis.
期刊介绍：
Neurocase is a rapid response journal of case studies and innovative group studies in neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology that speak to the neural basis of cognition. Four types of manuscript are considered for publication: single case investigations that bear directly on issues of relevance to theoretical issues or brain-behavior relationships; group studies of subjects with brain dysfunction that address issues relevant to the understanding of human cognition; reviews of important topics in the domains of neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology; and brief reports (up to 2500 words) that replicate previous reports dealing with issues of considerable significance. Of particular interest are investigations that include precise anatomical localization of lesions or neural activity via imaging or other techniques, as well as studies of patients with neurodegenerative diseases, since these diseases are becoming more common as our population ages. Topic reviews are included in most issues.
