Importance: GAAB Syndrome was recently discovered and coined by Rodríguez, Azariah, Ritter, et al.. (2024). It is characterized by bifrontal brain injury, visual pathway damage involving bilateral enucleation, generalized and visual anosognosia and lack of emotional processing with visual anosognosia being more prominent in the clinical presentation of the patient given the context of bilateral enucleation. The syndrome was not explained by delirium nor by amnesia, not either by multiple shunt adjustments or psychological denial.
Objective: To describe the clinical presentation and syndrome length of the patient one year after injury. Results show that most of the syndrome symptoms are resolved after nine months, with just visual anosognosia not resolving completely. The patient improved cognitively as shown by the same tests one year later.

Objectives: Atypical variants are rare in genetically determined Alzheimer disease (AD). This case describes a patient with Down syndrome-associated Alzheimer disease (DSAD) who presented with symptoms of posterior cortical atrophy (PCA).
Methods: We conducted a clinical and cognitive evaluation, genotyping, determination of AD biomarkers in CSF, structural MRI, [18F]FDG-PET, and tau-PET ([18F]PI2620) scans.
[Spatial neglect after stroke: a source of misunderstanding between patients and carers].

Spatial neglect, a frequent consequence of stroke, is one of the invisible disabilities. Affected patients may, for example, ignore an object in their field of vision (visual neglect), fail to use the contralesional arm (motor neglect), or try to stand up on their own despite a severe motor deficit (anosognosia). These behaviors can be detrimental to the care relationship if they are not understood by professionals.

Background: Alexia without agraphia (AWA) is an acquired reading disturbance associated with left posterior cerebral artery (PCA) infarction. Based on autopsy and neuroimaging, there are two explanations for its pathogenesis: a visual cortex-language cortex disconnection and a visual word-form agnosia. Our goal was to discover if more refined brain imaging in a case-control study would provide further imaging support for either of these hypotheses.

Department of Neurology, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing 100053, China. Electronic address:
Background: Although the pulvinar is known for its visual function and extensive connections with cortical areas, the volumetric change and functional connectivity of the pulvinar in posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) remain unclear.
Objective: To identify functional and volumetric changes of the pulvinar in PCA patients and the relevant associations with higher visual dysfunction.
Methods: A total of 29 patients with PCA and 30 normal controls were recruited.

: Anton syndrome is arare stroke syndrome that develops after damage to both occipital lobes, leading to cortical blindness and visual anosognosia. This report describes the rehabilitation course and functional progress of a 42-year-old man diagnosed with Anton syndrome.: The patient started visual stimulation therapy using a color looming disc 5 months after Anton syndrome onset, for 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week for 4 weeks, totaling 20 sessions.
