VIII - Síndrome de Bálint relacionada a epilepsia

Abstract

A review of the literature showed that the Bálint's syndrome is due to bilateral parieto-occipital lesions. In the present report, the authors describe a case of Bálint's syndrome which appeared after several simple partial epileptic seizures related to a right parietal localization. The benign course with full recovery is an example of the fact that the Bálint's syndrome may be related to reversible functional alterations of the cerebral cortex.
