Gerstmann's syndrome
A. L. Benton
Department of Neurology, University of Iowa, Iowa City.
Recent case reports describe the occurrence of a more or less pure
Gerstmann syndrome in association with a focal lesion in the posterior
perisylvian territory of the brain's left hemisphere. In addition, an
electrocortical stimulation study reported the Gerstmann symptom
combination and a number of other symptom combinations on stimulation of
small areas in the left posterior parietotemporal cortex. The
neuropsychological implications of these and other recent findings are
considered in light of the variety of "syndromes" produced by lesions in
this region, the rare occurrence of Gerstmann's syndrome, and its
appearance as a consequence of lesions in diverse cerebral areas.
