Abstract
A patient with an acute stroke had Gerstmann's syndrome. Cerebral angiography disclosed occlusion of the posterior parietal branch of the middle cerebral artery. The patient has remained physically well over a three-year period with only slight residual impairment in the intellectual spheres. Intracranial occlusions of smaller arterial branches can be diagnosed by cerebral angiography and occlusions of isolated branches give rise to characteristic clinical findings.
