ABSTRACT
Hemispatial neglect is a symptom where patients do not show response to stimuli on the contralesional side of their brain lesion. Although it is most common in the context of hemispheric stroke, several pathological processes including neurodegenerative disease, neoplasia, and trauma may cause this. Prevalence of hemispatial neglect is unknown and rarely reported among patients with hypoxic brain injury. Also, hemispatial neglect accompanying neglect dyslexia is rather hard to be recognized and symptoms involving numbers are exceptionally rare. We report a patient with hypoxic brain injury following cardiac arrest who showed signs of neglect dyslexia for numbers that provided a primary clue for the diagnosis of left hemispatial neglect. Early detection of different forms of cognitive dysfunction of hypoxic brain injury is highly essential in providing early neurorehabilitation for better prognosis.
