Abstract

A 66-year-old left-handed male was admitted to our acute inpatient rehabilitation (AIR) unit following a resection of the right occipito-parietal glioblastoma. He presented with symptoms of horizontal oculomotor apraxia, contralateral optic ataxia and left homonymous hemianopsia. We diagnosed this patient with partial Bálint's syndrome (BS)- oculomotor apraxia, optic ataxia but not simultanagnosia. BS is typically caused by bilateral posterior parietal lesions, but we here describe a unique case due toresection of a right intracranial tumor. A short AIR stay allowed our patient to learn how to compensate for visuomotor and visuospatial deficits, and improved his quality of life significantly.

右侧枕顶胶质母细胞瘤切除术后出现部分巴林氏综合征和左侧同质偏盲。

一位66岁的左撇子男性在切除右侧枕顶叶胶质母细胞瘤后，住进了我们的急性住院康复(AIR)病房。患者表现为水平动眼肌失用症、对侧视神经共济失调和左半球偏盲。我们诊断该患者为部分Bálint综合征(BS)-动眼性失用症，视觉共济失调，但非同时失认症。BS通常是由双侧后顶叶病变引起的，但我们在这里描述一个由于右侧颅内肿瘤切除术而引起的独特病例。短暂的空气治疗使我们的患者学会了如何补偿视觉运动和视觉空间缺陷，并显著改善了他的生活质量。

期刊介绍： Neurocase is a rapid response journal of case studies and innovative group studies in neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology that speak to the neural basis of cognition. Four types of manuscript are considered for publication: single case investigations that bear directly on issues of relevance to theoretical issues or brain-behavior relationships; group studies of subjects with brain dysfunction that address issues relevant to the understanding of human cognition; reviews of important topics in the domains of neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology; and brief reports (up to 2500 words) that replicate previous reports dealing with issues of considerable significance. Of particular interest are investigations that include precise anatomical localization of lesions or neural activity via imaging or other techniques, as well as studies of patients with neurodegenerative diseases, since these diseases are becoming more common as our population ages. Topic reviews are included in most issues.
