Abstract

This article focuses on the neuropsychological outcomes following a bi-parietal penetrating traumatic brain injury in a 28-year-old right-handed Hispanic male with no prior medical history. The injury, caused by a gunshot wound traversing the left frontoparietal to right parietal regions, resulted in multiple displaced ballistic fragments and bilateral parietal lobe damage. Neuropsychological assessment revealed deficits including right-sided sensory suppression, alexia with agraphia, acquired apraxia of speech without aphasia, Gerstmann's Syndrome, visuospatial impairments, attentional and memory deficits, and slowed processing speed. The case highlights the significant cognitive impairments associated with penetrating injuries affecting both parietal lobes, a rare and underreported clinical trajectory.
