Frontal lobe and cingulate cortical metabolic dysfunction in acquired akinetic mutism: a PET study of the interval form of carbon monoxide poisoning

A middle-aged man suffering from acute carbon monoxide intoxication was clinically assessed to be in an akinetic and mute state. In order to elucidate regional cerebral disturbances, brain metabolism was investigated with fluoro-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18FDG-PET) 5.5 months after...
