摘要

A 50-year-old male was evaluated in our neurology clinic during a follow-up visit due to previous ischemic stroke. An interrogation of his medical history revealed that the patient had been under follow-up due to rheumatic heart disease and related aortic valve insufficiency since childhood. Due to the progression of ventricular dysfunction, a prosthestic aortic valve replacement was performed nine years ago. After this surgery, when the influence of anesthesia was over, a significant weakness in his left upper extremity was noticed. More devastatingly, he was unable to visually perceive any colored or colorless objects. However, the symptoms improved in the following one-year period and the patient was able to perceive the objects, separately. At admission to our clinic, his direct and indirect pupillary light reflexes were evaluated as normal. In addition, the visual acuity was found to be bilaterally normal. However, the patient was unable to make pursuit eye movements, as well as saccadic eye movements, which were totally absent in the left direction and moderately disturbed in right direction. Moreover, during the oculocephalic test, rotation of the eyes to the opposite direction of the head movements were observed. Ability of visual-guided reaching was defective. This was compatible with optic ataxia. In addition, the patient was able to see and read a letter but could not combine the letters to perceive a word, which was compatible with simultanagnosia. The patient could distinguish the objects separately; however, he had difficulty when they were visualized side-by-side or back-to-back (Video 1). Cranial tomography showed bilateral parietooccipital hypodensity, which was prominent in the left hemisphere (Figure 1). The clinical findings of severe oculomotor apraxia, optic ataxia, and simultanagnosia led to the diagnosis of Balint syndrome due to ischemic stroke.
