Abstract
Bilateral globus pallidus lesions can cause lack of motivation, apathy and abulia. These behavioral changes may be caused by the disruption of cortico-striato-pallidal thalamic circuits. We experienced a 49-yr-old female patient with bilateral globus pallidus lesions that resulted from acute carbon monoxide intoxication. Her brain [18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography showed regional blood glucose hypometabolism. These changes may reflect the disruption of cortico-striato-pallidal thalamic circuits.
