| Popis: | A 48-year-old female suffered from cerebral infarction involving the left inferior frontal gyrus. This was due to ischemic complications of endovascular treatment for subarachnoid hemorrhage. She exhibited severe acalculia, agraphia, finger agnosia, and right-left disorientation (the four features of Gerstmann syndrome), but aphasia was scarcely noticeable. Single-photon emission tomography revealed hypoperfusion in the left inferior frontal area and also in the left parietal area. It is possible that Gerstmann syndrome was caused in the present case by disruption of the association fiber connecting the inferior frontal area with the inferior parietal area. |
