Ideomotor apraxia is a disorder characterized by an inability to imitate previously well-performed tool-use pantomimes and gestures. It has both limb and buccofacial components. The lesion sites causing ideomotor limb apraxia are the left parietal or frontal lobes, and the lesion sites causing ideomotor buccofacial apraxia are located in the left frontal operculum and insular cortex areas. Idemotor apraxia due to herpes encephalitis has been poorly explored due to severe amnesia. We describe here a case of ideomotor limb and buccofacial apraxia from herpes encephalitis showing good gesture imitation and recognition.
Key Words: Ideomotor apraxia, Herpes encephalitis
