Which of the following is caused by bilateral parietal lesions leading to visuomotor difficulty?
High-Yield Explanation
Balint&;s syndrome is an uncommon and incompletely understood triad of severe neuropsychological impairments: inability to perceive the visual field as a whole (simultanagnosia), difficulty in fixating the eyes (oculomotor apraxia), and inability to move the hand to a specific object by using vision (optic ataxia).Balint&;s syndrome occurs most often with an acute onset as a consequence of two or more strokes at more or less the same place in each hemisphere. Therefore, it occurs rarely. The most frequent cause of complete Balint&;s syndrome is said by some to be sudden and severe hypotension, resulting in bilateral border zone infarction in the occipitoparietal region
