Confusional states following posterior cerebral artery infarction

Four patients with left-sided posterior cerebral artery infarction
developed acute confusional states. Fifteen additional patients with
confusion following unilateral posterior cerebral artery infarction were
identified from a review of the literature; in 14 the lesion was left
sided. Destruction or disconnection of dominant hemisphere neocortex from
limbic structures, resulting in impairment of focal attention, loss of
linguistically organized memory, and/or disruption of temporal sequencing
may be responsible for this syndrome.
