[Presentation of a case: encephalopathy of boxers].

A 68-year-old man presents slight memory problems and behavioural change over a period of a year. A history of boxing is identified. Neuropsychological examination confirms slight frontal cognitive damage and damage at the level of the motor signs of the upper left hemicorpus. This symptomatology should, in differential diagnosis, raise the possibility of chronic punch-drunk syndrome. Further studies should be done to better document this little-characterized clinical entity and arrive at a clearer definition of this syndrome.
