  • Kluver Bucy Syndrome after bilateral selective damage of amygdala and its cortical connections
    Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, 1998
    Co-Authors: Anne L Hayman, Jennie L Rexer, Marykay A Pavol, Daniel Strite, Christina A Meyers
    Abstract:

    Isolated symmetric damage to the amygdalae and their cortical connections occurred in an individual following cancer treatment. The lesions were imaged after reversal of hyponatremia. The patient displayed marked behavioral changes including visual agnosia, hypersexuality, hyperorality, a tendency to react to every visual stimulus, and memory deficits. The cluster of neurobehavioral symptoms is similar to previously reported accounts of Kluver-Bucy Syndrome and suggests the importance of bilateral amygdala involvement in these behavioral changes.

  • bilateral anterior opercular Syndrome with partial Kluver Bucy Syndrome in a stroke patient a case report
    Annals of Rehabilitation Medicine, 2016
    Co-Authors: Ahra Cho, Youngho Lim, Saehoon Chung, Eunhi Choi, Jong Youb Lim
    Abstract:

    Bilateral anterior opercular Syndrome and partial Kluver-Bucy Syndrome are associated with bilateral middle cerebral artery lesions. The combination of these two Syndromes has only been reported in a child with limbic encephalitis. In this case, a 44-year-old woman with bilateral middle cerebral artery infarction, which occurred 2 years prior, could walk independently. However, she showed automatic-voluntary dissociation and anarthria with preserved writing skills. She also presented hypersexuality, hypermetamorphosis, and memory disturbances. Here, we report a case of an adult stroke patient who suffered from bilateral anterior opercular Syndrome accompanied by partial Kluver-Bucy Syndrome.

  • Kluver Bucy Syndrome following traumatic brain injury a systematic synthesis and review of pharmacological treatment from cases in adolescents and adults

    Abstract:

    Kluver-Bucy Syndrome (KBS) is a rare clinical presentation following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Symptoms include visual agnosia, placidity, hyperorality, sexual hyperactivity, changes in dietary behavior, and hypermetamorphosis. The purpose of this article was to identify and synthesize the available evidence from case reports and case series on the treatment profile of KBS among adolescents and adults after TBI. Four bibliographic databases (MEDLINE OVID, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and SCOPUS) were searched for relevant literature. No date or language restrictions were applied. All case reports containing original data on KBS following TBI among adolescents and adults were included. Articles were evaluated, and data were extracted according to predefined criteria. The literature search identified 24 case reports of KBS post-TBI published between 1968 and 2017. Most case subjects were male (70.1%), and the mean age at injury was 25.1 years (range, 13-67 years). Injury to one or both temporal lobes occurred in most cases. Inappropriate sexual hyperactivity was the most common KBS symptom, followed by a change in dietary behavior and hyperorality. Visual agnosia was the least reported. In 50% of cases, the patient fully recovered from KBS. One-half of all participants described pharmacological management; the most common medication prescribed was carbamazepine. Overall, there was a lack of data available on pharmacotherapy initiation and duration. The complex presentation of KBS presents challenges in terms of treatment options. Although overall individuals who were prescribed carbamazepine had positive outcomes, given the reliance on case reports, it is difficult to make a definitive recommendation to guide clinical practice.
