Abstract
Objectives. Although constituents of the apathy syndrome including decreased activity, initiative and interests are relatively often seen in post-stroke patients, this syndrome is seldom diagnosed. A case of this syndrome is reported in the paper.
Case report. Relatively isolated apathy syndrome in a post-stroke patient is described, and a review of the relevant literature is presented.
Commentary. Apathy considerably impairs the patient's post-stroke functioning. At present there are scarce literature data concerning effectiveness of rehabilitation of patients with this disorder.
