Abstract

Gerstmann syndrome, alternatively recognized as angular gyrus syndrome, epitomizes a complex cognitive impairment that has ignited substantial scholarly discourse within the realms of neurology and neuropsychology. The syndrome's original portrayal was, however, changed. It was demonstrated that the manifestation of its symptomatic tetrad, consisting of four main neurological impairments, is not invariably complete and frequently occurs alongside additional cognitive deficits. Furthermore, the precise cerebral localization of Gerstmann syndrome was traditionally posited to be the left angular gyrus; however, studies mention the possible involvement of other eloquent cerebral areas being pathognomonic. This case report delves into the case of an 86-year-old subject who exhibited the quintessential quartet of symptoms initially delineated by Josef Gerstmann, proposing that elderly patients may manifest a predisposition towards presenting the fully characterized symptomatology initially outlined by Gerstmann.
