title = "Thalamic hemorrhage with neglect and memory disorder",
abstract = "A patient with right thalamic hemorrhage developed left-sided hemi-inattention, indifference, motor neglect, and hypokinesia. He also developed a severe memory deficit at the time of hemorrhage. Observations in this patient suggest that, in addition to a syndrome of neglect and hypokinesia, an amnesic syndrome can arise from unilateral lesions involving the right thalamus.",

note = "Funding Information: While hemi-inattention and neglect syndromes are most common following lesions of the parietal lobe, these abnormalities have also been reported following right thalamic hemorrhage (Watson et al. 1979; Cambier et al. 1980; Schott et al. 1980). Several previously reported patients with right thalamic hemorrhage were also noted to have a memory defect (Watson et al. 1979; Choi et al. 1983). However, most prior reports ofthalamic memory disorder were derived from patients with bilateral thalamic lesions. In the unilateral cases reported by Watson and Heilman (1979), the authors were not certain that memory deficit did not antedate thalami¢ hemorrhage.
