Gerstmann syndrome as a sequela of a brain abscess in a non-dominant hemisphere: A case report

Gerstmann syndrome is traditionally associated with lesions in the left angular gyrus. However, in our case, the lesion was located on the right side. Interestingly, there is only one other documented case of Gerstmann syndrome linked to a brain infection in the medical literature. Furthermore, our patient presented without the typical risk factors for brain abscesses, such as immunosuppression, an identifiable infectious source, or epidemiological connections commonly associated with this pathogen. This case highlights a rare and impactful condition, significantly affecting the patient's quality of life while also contributing valuable insights to the understanding of this uncommon neurological syndrome.
