Abstract
- Right-sided neglect after an acute, left subcortical brain injury is a rare phenomenon for several reasons including its rapid resolution and decreased clinical suspicion. Here we present a case of a 72-year-old right-handed man who presented with right auditory and sensory extinction following a left thalamic intracerebral hemorrhage without visual extinction, sensory or corticosensory deficits, and discuss the mechanisms involved in this infrequently encountered stroke syndrome.
