Hemispatial neglect is a neuropsychological condition in which, after damage to one hemisphere of the brain (e.g. after a stroke), a deficit in attention and awareness towards the side of space opposite brain damage (contralesional space) is observed.

2023年8月14日 · Spatial Neglect is a neuropsychological condition that occurs mainly due to damage to the right cerebral hemisphere after the right middle cerebral artery stroke. This article describes the evaluation of spatial neglect in detail and also reviews the role of the healthcare team in patient management. Objectives:

Unilateral neglect is also commonly known as contralateral neglect, hemispatial neglect, visuospatial neglect, spatial neglect, or hemineglect [2] [3]. In unilateral neglect, patients fail to report, respond or orient to meaningful stimuli presented on the affected side [2].

2017年1月27日 · Hemineglect, also known as unilateral neglect, hemispatial neglect or spatial neglect, is a common and disabling condition following brain damage in which patients fail to be aware of items to one side of space.

The syndrome of hemispatial neglect is characterised by reduced awareness of stimuli on one side of space, even though there may be no sensory loss. Although it is extremely common, it has proven to be a challenging condition to understand, and to treat.

2021年3月23日 · Hemispatial neglect, also known as unilateral neglect or hemineglect, is a sensory awareness problem caused by damage to the parietal lobe. In particular, it is associated with lesions on the posterior parietal cortex.

2022年9月27日 · To help you understand this condition, which is formally known as hemineglect, you’re about to learn what causes it and how it is treated. At the end, you’ll find some exercises to help boost awareness on the survivor’s affected side.

The syndrome of hemispatial neglect is characterised by reduced awareness of stimuli on one side of space, even though there may be no sensory loss. Although it is extremely common, it has proven to be a challenging condition to understand, and to treat.

2012年9月11日 · More than 100 years after it was first described, hemineglect—also known as unilateral spatial neglect, or unilateral inattention—is still one of the most fascinating and mysterious of the neuropsychological disorders.

Hemineglect can disturb attention and action to the left side of extrapersonal space and external objects as well as to the left side of the patient's own body. Patients may fail to wash, comb, shave, and dress the left half of their bodies.
