Abstract

Diagnosing the delayed neuropsychological sequelae of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is a clinical challenge because of its varied presentations. Pallidal lesions, the most common site of involvement in CO poisoning [ Clin Radiol. 2000;55(4):273–80] can cause psychic akinesia [ Mov Disord. 2001;16(5):810–4; J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry 1984;47(4):377–85]. We present a patient with diurnal bruxism, psychic akinesia and depression that were delayed manifestations of CO poisoning.
