Ten patients with left-sided visuospatial neglect due to cerebrovascular accident were monitored using the Behavioural Inattention Test (BIT) at weekly intervals, on a long-term basis. The novel finding was that some patients showed occasional but transitory marked improvement in their visuospatial neglect at times producing a normal score. This spontaneous phenomenon was evidenced by the patient cancelling sections or the entire block of left-sided targets, without any additional cues or prompts. Such episodes indicate that, in this small group of patients, visuospatial neglect is not necessarily irrevocable, at least for simple stimuli.
对10名因脑血管意外导致左侧视觉空间忽视的患者进行了长期监测，每周使用行为疏忽测试（BIT）进行一次检查。新发现是，一些患者偶尔会出现短暂但明显的视觉空间忽视改善，有时能得到正常分数。这种自发现象表现为患者在没有任何额外提示或提示的情况下，取消了左侧目标的部分或整个区域。这些发作表明，在这一小群患者中，视觉空间忽视不一定是不可逆转的，至少对于简单刺激而言是如此。
