Abstract:
Abulia refers to impaired ability to perform voluntary actions, show initiative, make decisions along with decrease in movements, speech, thought and emotional reactions. We describe here two patients who developed this condition following bilateral insult to different sites in the centromedial core of the brain, the first following the cerebral venous thrombosis and the second after the right ACA and MCA infarct. Both these patients improved following treatment with Bromocriptine. These cases are described for proper identification and management by the clinicians.
