Abstract
A 40-year-old man with mutism developed after clipping a left distal anterior cerebral artery aneurysm is presented. The most characteristic presenting symptom was complete absence of speech with unimpaired consciousness which occurred on the fourth day after operation. The patient recovered spontaneously within three weeks. In this paper we discuss the possible pathogenesis and anatomical location of mutism related to a distal anterior cerebral aneurysm in view of the literature.Entities:
