Workup
As a result, emergent organic workups should be arranged, especially for elderly patients at high risk for cerebral vascular accident. [dovepress.com]
Workup Evaluation for Gerstmann syndrome begins with confirmation of the clinical findings. Finger agnosia can be tested by: Covering the patient's eyes, touching one of their fingers, and having them report which finger was touched. [eyewiki.aao.org]
Treatment
Treatment There is no cure for Gerstmann's syndrome. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive. Occupational and speech therapies may help diminish the dysgraphia and apraxia. [ninds.nih.gov]
