Abstract
Although hemispatial neglect has been documented after stroke to the nondominant frontal lobe, to our knowledge this is the first report of transient hemispatial neglect after removal of a posterior inferior frontal lobe tumor. The neuroanatomic substrates underlying hemispatial neglect were investigated in an effort to explain our patient's clinical syndrome. In addition, the investigators suggest that special precautions and/or more detailed testing may be warranted intraoperatively when resecting inferior frontal lobe tumors.
