Visual neglect has been frequently described in a horizontal direction. Altitudinal neglect, however, has rarely been described and has been associated with bilateral lesions in the parieto-occipital or temporo-occipital region. The following case report presents a patient with marked altitudinal neglect of the inferior space which was elicited using a line bisection test. The previously healthy patient had well-defined lesions solely in the occipital cortex following an embolic infarction. The present case report underlines the possibility that bioccipital lesions themselves can be responsible for altitudinal neglect.
视觉忽视通常是在水平方向上被描述的。然而，垂直性忽视很少被描述，且与顶枕叶或颞枕叶区域的双侧病变有关。以下病例报告介绍了一名患者，该患者在使用直线二等分测试时表现出明显的下方空间垂直性忽视。这位之前健康的患者在发生栓塞性梗死后仅在枕叶皮质出现了明确的病变。本病例报告强调了双侧枕叶病变本身可能导致垂直性忽视的可能性。
