Abstract

We are presenting a rare case-report of a patient with two succesive hemorrhagic strokes in the area of both posterior cerebral arteries. She has suffered bilateral lesions of occipital lobes.

However, due to the size of the lesions, the neighbouring structures of temporal and parietal lobes have been affected too, more severly on the left side. Clinically we found Anton-Babinski syndrome (cortical blindness, anosognozia, state of confusion, confabulations).

We also could notice a cognitice impairment of the pstient and Gerstamann syndrome (acalculia, agraphia, right-left disorientation, finger agnosia. We consider the cause of hemorrhagic strokes and amyloid angiopathy, as no other vessel pathology has been revealed.
