Mutism and amnesia following high-voltage electrical injury: psychogenic symptomatology triggered by organic dysfunction?
Eur Neurol. 2011; (4): 229-34
Mutism and dense retrograde amnesia are found both in organic and dissociative contexts. Moreover, dissociative symptoms may be modulated by right prefrontal activity. A single case, M.R., developed left hemiparesis, mutism and retrograde amnesia after a high-voltage electric shock without evidence of lasting brain lesions. M.R. suddenly recovered from his mutism following a mild brain trauma 2 years later.
