Dysmetria
Optic ataxia is also known as misreaching or dysmetria (English: difficult to measure ), secondary to visual perceptual deficits. [en.wikipedia.org]
Workup
Subsequently the development of uncommon symptoms, such as extrapyramidal signs and primitive reflexes, has complicated the clinical profile, requiring more diagnostic workup with neuropathologic, genetic and neuroradiologic detailed analysis, to confirm [jneuro.com]

White Matter Lesions
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain showed bilateral parieto occipital infarcts with multiple periventricular white matter lesions [ Figure 1 ]. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
I think that systematic treatment in both cases helped to improve basic visual abilities and activities of daily living so that both patients could live independently at home—which was hardly expected when seeing them at the onset of treatment. [jnnp.bmj.com]
The new edition also contains an appendix with recommendations on the case histories, diagnostics and treatments. [books.google.com]
Lack of awareness can lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment. See a doctor if you notice any problem. Hello Health Group does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. [hellodoktor.com]
There was some clinical improvement with steroid treatment, but the patient refused further diagnostic procedures and was released to home. [path.upmc.edu]
Prognosis
It is usually considered the posterior variant of Alzheimer’s Disease, which often shares the same pathogenesis; generally the patients with PCA are younger than AD patients (peak of incidence: 50-60 years) with a better prognosis and a slower course [jneuro.com]
Etiology
Regardless of etiologies, the area in brain which is usually affected remains to be superior parietal lobule (SPL) which is located in the parieto-occipital junction [2]. [ijsronline.net]
Etiologies[ 2 ] include trauma, post-cardiac arrest, near drowning, stroke, metastasis,[ 3 ] eclampsia,[ 4 ] human immunodeficiency virus encephalitis, posterior reversible encephalopathy, posterior cortical atrophy[ 5 ] and Creuzfeldt-Jacob disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The etiology of the syndrome include wide range of cerebral and cortical lesions [7-9]. We herein report a patient with post-traumatic Balint syndrome. [beat-journal.com]
According to the concept of the syndrome, PPCD can have several etiologies. [demneuropsy.com.br]
