A neglected symptom? Parietal gait lateropulsion as primary manifestation of acute is-chemic stroke

CONCLUSION: We report gait lateropulsion as a novel primary manifestation of acute stroke of the parietal lobe (parietal gait lateropulsion). Given its role as the destination of proprioceptive pathways, parietal strokes can result in gait lateropulsion, with bilateral lesions even mimicking sensory ataxia with bilateral lateropulsion and unsteadiness upon eye closure.PMID:36631966 | DOI:10.33588/rn.7602.2021349
