Altitudinal neglect in a patient with occipital infarction
ERGUNMARTERER A; ERGUN E; MENTES M
BRAIN INJ , 2001, vol. 15, n° 4, p. 363-370 Doc n°: 100420 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : AD911 - NEGLIGENCE VISUELLE Visual neglect has been frequently described in a horizontal direction. Altitudinal neglect, however, has rarely been described and has been associated with bilateral lesions in the parieto-occipital or temporo-occipital region. The following case report presents a patient with marked altitudinal neglect of the inferior space which was elicited using a line bisection test. The previously healthy patient had well-defined lesions solely in the occipital cortex following an embolic infarction. The present case report underlines the possibility that bioccipital lesions themselves can be responsible for altitudinal neglect. Langue : ANGLAIS Tiré à part : OUI Identifiant basis : 2001216361 |
