TY  - JOUR
AB  - The syndrome of visuospatial neglect is acommon consequence of unilateral brain injury.It is most often associated with stroke and ismore severe and persistent following righthemisphere damage, with reported frequenciesin the acute stage of up to 80%. Neglect isprimarily a disorder of attention whereby patientscharacteristically fail to orientate, to report or torespond to stimuli located on the contralesionalside. Neglect is usually caused by large strokes inthe middle cerebral artery territory and isheterogeneous, such that most patients do notmanifest every feature of the syndrome.A number of treatments may improve neglect,but there is no widely accepted universalapproach to therapy. Although most patientsrecover spontaneously, the evidence suggeststhat they continue to have significant cognitiveimpairments, particularly relating to attention.
