ABSTRACT
We describe a 72-year-old man who developed akinetic mutism following a cerebrovascular accident involving his right internal watershed area and responded well to dopaminergic agonists. We discuss this rare condition and the unusual unilateral location of the lesion.

Keywords: akinetic mutism, cerebrovascular accident, dopaminergic agonist, subcortical infarction
