Abstract
ABSTRACTKlüver-Bucy syndrome (KBS) leads to important behavioral symptoms and social maladaptation. Rarely described, no previous study has investigated its social and affective cognitive profile. We report the case of ASP, a patient who developed a complete KBS at 9 years that evolved into an incomplete KBS. Orbitofrontal and temporal damages were evidenced. While a classic neuropsychological assessment showed a preserved global functioning, an extensive evaluation of her social and affective cognition (reversal learning, decision-making, emotion recognition, theory of mind, creative thinking) showed remarkable deficits. The relevancy of such findings for the characterization KBS and the field of neuropsychology are discussed.
