Nonaphasic misnaming and other neurobehavioral features of an unusual toxic encephalopathy: case study.
A patient with propranolol-induced mental status changes was studied during and after the period of propranolol intoxication. While intoxicated he manifested the syndrome of "non-aphasic misnaming," did poorly on the nonverbal portions of the WAIS, and exhibited perseveration and variability of performance. Our observations clarify the nature of the neurobehavioral disturbances in toxic-metabolic encephalopathies.
