Abstract
Two rare cases of akinetic mutism induced by aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage are reported. The literature is reviewed, the possible pathophysiological mechanism of akinetic mutism is considered and the association between these two conditions is explored with an attempt to address the roles of medical treatment and surgery and to discuss prognosis.Entities:
