Gerstmann syndrome
A rare neurological disorder caused by damage to the dominant parietal lobe, usually in the left hemisphere, and is characterized by four main symptoms: agraphia (inability to write), acalculia (difficulty with mathematics), disorientation on the right and left sides (confusion in distinguishing between the right and left sides), and finger agnosia (inability to recognize the fingers). This syndrome is often associated with angular gyrus involvement and occurs in patients with strokes, traumatic brain injuries, or neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. Treatment is aimed at managing symptoms and addressing the underlying cause.
