Incidence of Visuospatial Neglect in Acute Stroke: Assessment and Stroke Characteristics in an Unselected 1-Year Cohort
The incidence of visuospatial neglect in an unselected cohort, using a highly sensitive assessment, is considerably higher than previously assumed and can also occur after less typically localized strokes. These results can enhance the awareness of visuospatial neglect in the acute setting, potentially facilitating earlier identification and therapy of this disabling disorder.
