Scope note: Pérdida de las funciones corticales superiores con conservación de la conciencia debido a INFARTOS DE HEMISFERIO CEREBRAL, subcorticales o corticales, múltiples. Con frecuencia se afectan la memoria, el juicio, la extensión de la atención y el control de impulsos, y pueden acompañarse de PARÁLISIS PSEUDOBULBAR, hemiparesia, anomalías reflejas y otros signos de disfunción neurológica localizada.

Scope note: Loss of higher cortical functions with retained awareness due to multiple cortical or subcortical CEREBRAL INFARCTION. Memory, judgment, attention span, and impulse control are often impaired, and may be accompanied by PSEUDOBULBAR PALSY; HEMIPARESIS; reflex abnormalities, and other signs of localized neurologic dysfunction.
