ABSTRACT
A 19-year-old student developed hypoventilation and cyanosis at the end of a cosmetic liposuction procedure. She was awake, but severely abulic, disoriented, and unable to stand and walk due to severe locomotor ataxia. Neuropsychological evaluation showed psychomotor slowness, and deficits in memory encoding and retrieval, and on executive, and visuospatial and visuoperceptual tests; oral comprehension and constructional praxis were spared. ¹H-MRS showed a reduction of NAA. A year later, her cognitive and neurological exam, and NAA returned to normal, and she resumed her normal life. The severity of the acute manifestations of hypoxic encephalopathy not always entail a poor prognosis.
