| Abstract |
In 1945 (1), Holmes found the search for anatomical substrates of visual behavior to be challengingwork. The findings had to be "assembled" "with time and labor" from the "irregular rubble" of clinical material and were "rarely so simple or clean cut." I was asked to review 3 articles that recapitulate Holmes' experience: Visual involvement in corticobasal syndrome (2) and Complex visual manifestations of posterior cortical atrophy (3) that address insidious visual decline because of neurodegenerative disease, and Balint syndrome and visual allochiria in a patient with reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (4) that concerns sequelae of stroke. The profiles in these challenging cases may be compared to the century-old case report of Resza Balint (5). |
