Abstract

A 49-year-old woman underwent clipping surgery for a ruptured aneurysm, resulting in brain retraction injury and lesions in the left frontal and temporal lobes. This led to the presentation of Gerstmann syndrome, with specific deficits in word-finding, apraxia, and inattention. Diffusion tensor tractography revealed thinner white matter tracts in the left hemisphere, contributing to the syndrome, but improvements were observed over time. The study provides valuable insights into the impact of frontal lobe damage on cognitive functions and highlights the importance of visualizing white matter fibers in understanding neuropsychological disturbances.
