Lateral Eye Deviation and Post-Stroke Spatial Neglect (P1.208)

CONCLUSIONS: Why CBS-defined and BIT-defined neglect resulted in different patterns of eye deviation is unclear. This could reflect greater sensitivity of functional performance testing for neglect, or greater relation of spontaneous behavior assessed by the CBS with eye deviation, as contrasted with responses directly elicited during neuropsychological testing. Research to identify specific mechanisms predisposing patients to rightward eye deviation may be helpful to develop a more complex model to evaluate for potential clinical screening.
