Abstract
- Balint syndrome is a rare cortical visual disorder in a patient with bilateral parieto-occipital lesions, which consists of psychic paralysis of visual fixation, optic ataxia and visual inattention. The most common cause of Balint syndrome is borderzone infarction and the other causes are gun-shot wounds, postpartum venous thrombosis, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, encephalopathy following eclampsia, human immunodeficiency virus encephalitis, and primary and metastatic brain tumor. We report a case of Balint syndrome which was caused by central nervous system involvement of systemic lupus erythematosus-scleroderma overlap syndrome, comfirmed by clinical features, irnmunologic and radiologic studies.
