Bálint's syndrome

This collection of symptoms would later be called Bálint's syndrome.

The validity of Bálint's syndrome has been questioned by some.

A case involving a 10-year-old male child with Bálint's syndrome has been reported Similar results were seen in a 7-year-old boy.

Therefore, clinicians should be familiar with Bálint's syndrome and its various etiologies.

Visuospatial dysgnosia has many symptoms in common with Bálint's syndrome and can present simultaneously.

Symptoms of Bálint's syndrome are most likely to be noticed first by therapists providing rehabilitation following brain lesions.

A patient with congenital deafness exhibited partial Bálint's syndrome symptoms.

Bálint's syndrome is rarely reported in children, but some recent studies provide evidence that cases do exist in children.

A patient with Bálint's syndrome likely has defective hand movements under visual guidance, despite normal limb strength.

Symptoms of Bálint's syndrome were found in the case of a 29-year-old migraine sufferer.

One study reports that damage to the bilateral dorsal occipitoparietal regions appeared to be involved in Bálint's syndrome.

Bálint's syndrome has been found in patients with bilateral damage to the posterior parietal cortex.

Three approaches to rehabilitation of perceptual deficits, such as those seen in Bálint's syndrome, have been identified:

Some telltale signs suggesting Bálint's syndrome following bilateral brain insults may include:

A 58-year old male presented with Bálint's syndrome secondary to severe traumatic brain injury 4-months post-injury onset.

Bálint's syndrome symptoms can be quite debilitating since they impact visuospatial skills, visual scanning and attentional mechanisms.

In terms of the specific rehabilitation of visuoperceptual disorders such as Bálint's syndrome, the literature is extremely sparse.

The visual difficulties in Bálint's syndrome are usually due to damage to the top part of the temporal-occipital lobes on both sides of the brain.

Victims of Bálint's syndrome perceive the world erratically, as a series of single objects rather than seeing the wholeness of a scene.

Bálint's syndrome: loss of voluntary eye movements optic ataxia, asimultagnosia (inability to understand visual objects)

Bálint's syndrome is characterized by a complete lack of eye-hand coordination and has been demonstrated to occur in isolation to Optic Ataxia.

Bálint's syndrome occurs most often with an acute onset as a consequence of two or more strokes at more or less the same place in each hemisphere.

Any severe disturbance of space representation, spontaneously appearing following bilateral parietal damage, strongly suggests the presence of Bálint's syndrome and should be investigated as such.

It is one of three major components of Bálint's syndrome, an uncommon and incompletely understood variety of severe neuropsychological impairments involving space representation (visuospatial processing).

The most frequent cause of complete Bálint's syndrome is said by some to be sudden and severe hypotension, resulting in bilateral borderzone infarction in the occipito-parietal region.
