          Abstract

          Twenty patients with unilateral neglect syndrome were studied. They were 10 males and 10 females, and they ranged from 29 to 76 years of age. All were submitted to a CAT scan of the brain. Based on the findings in our sample we drew the following conclusions: the extinction phenomenon was a constant manifestation of unilateral neglect; the line crossing test proved to be most efficient for the identification of visual neglect; the right parietal lobe was the anatomical region most often involved in the unilateral neglect syndrome.

          Translated abstract

          Foram estudados 20 pacientes com a síndrome da negligência unilateral (SNU), de idades variáveis entre 29 e 76 anos, sendo 10 do sexo masculino e 10 do sexo feminino, todos submetidos à tomografia axial computadorizada do crânio. Baseados nesta casuística, concluímos: o fenômeno de extinção foi manifestação constante da SNU; a prova da secção de traços foi a que se revelou mais eficaz na identificação da negligência visual; o lobo parietal direito foi a região anatômica mais freqüentemente comprometida na SNU.
