Presentation
This patient presented the complete tetrad of GS that resulted from a right parietal lesion. [thejcn.com]
From Psy3242 Gerstmann's syndrome is the term given to symptoms that indicate a lesion is present in the dominat side of angular gyrus and the supramarginal gyrus (near the temporal and parietal lobes). [editthis.info]
A case of Gerstmann syndrome following a trauma is presented. After one month the patient showed the four symptoms of the Gerstmann syndrome associated with slight visual memory and constructional praxis deficits. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Dyslexia
The reader will get a review of most aspects of SLD, including the different clinical syndromes (mostly dyslexia and dyscalculia), the clinical manifestations and the therapeutic approaches. [books.google.com]
The subjects were divided into two groups, those with normal-or-better reading ability and those with dyslexia equal in degree to their dyscalculia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Frequently, there is also impairment in reading (dyslexia). Children with good intellectual function as well as those with brain damage may be affected. Eliciting features of Gerstmann's syndrome Agraphia: Illegible or very poor writing. [patient.info]
Most of the time, they have dyslexia or a problem involving reading. [syndromespedia.com]

- Alteration of Consciousness
When various pathological factors disrupt its structure or normal functioning, a wide variety of signs and symptoms will appear: difficulty or inability to remember information, Alteration of consciousness, Difficulty communicating, difficulty moving, [lifepersona.com]
Workup
As a result, emergent organic workups should be arranged, especially for elderly patients at high risk for cerebral vascular accident. [dovepress.com]
Other ECG Findings
- Ischemic Changes
Cranial computed tomography (CT) exam on admission was normal while electrocardiogram disclosed irregular rhythm and absence of p wave, with no ischemic changes. [scielo.br]
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]
With the right treatment, cases of Gerstmann syndrome can improve and early treatment has been shown to be most effective. [medic8.com]
Treatment/Prognosis While there is no cure for Gerstmann's syndrome, patients usually adapt or symptoms diminish. Treatment includes strategies that help those with this disorder function in daily life. [editthis.info]

Etiology
While GS is commonly associated with focal lesions to the region of the left angular gyrus, it has also been associated with numerous diffuse etiologies including atrophy, alcoholism, carbon monoxide poisoning, lead intoxication and anaphylactic shock [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In the case of neurological assessment, it is important to identify the etiologic cause and the location of the lesion or brain lesions. [lifepersona.com]
