It is caused by bilateral posterior parietal lobe damage and comprises a triad of simultanagnosia (inability to simultaneously see more than a small number of items), optic ataxia (impaired visual guidance of movement of the limbs and body), and apraxia of gaze (inability to volitionally direct gaze despite the requisite motor substrate) often associated with homonymous lower visual field loss. We, here, describe five children (four males, one female; mean age 7.4 years, [range 4\u221211 years]; birth weight \u2264 2.5\u2009kg; four were born \u2264 36 weeks of gestational age and one at 40 weeks) who presented to the Cerebral Visual Impairment Clinic at a tertiary care center in South India with clinical features remarkably consistent with the above description. In all children neuroimaging showed bilateral parietooccipital gliosis with regional white matter volume loss and focal callosal thinning, consistent with perinatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy and possible neonatal hypoglycemia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2016\/3806056","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,11,8]],"date-time":"2016-11-08T16:00:18Z","timestamp":1478620818000},"page":"1-5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Pediatric Balint\u2019s Syndrome Variant: A Possible Diagnosis in Children"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2016","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5900-7352","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Swetha Sara","family":"Philip","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, The Cerebral Visual Impairment Clinic, Christian Medical College and Hospital, Vellore, Tamil Nadu 632001, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sunithi Elizabeth","family":"Mani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiodiagnosis, Christian Medical College, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gordon N.","family":"Dutton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vision Sciences, Glasgow Caledonian University, Cowcaddens Road, Glasgow G4 0BA, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"51","DOI":"10.1159\/000210464","volume":"25","year":"1909","journal-title":"Monatsschr Psychiatr Neurol"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaapos.2007.03.007"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2174\/157339610793743895"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/brain\/77.3.373"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cercor\/bhq287"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0012162203000641"},{"key":"7","year":"2010"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2214.2003.00369.x"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-8749.2008.03257.x"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjo.2.7.353"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"506","DOI":"10.1136\/bjo.2.10.506","volume":"2","year":"1918","journal-title":"British Journal of Ophthalmology"},{"key":"12","first-page":"106","volume-title":"Cinical features of perceptual and cognitive visual impairment in children with brain damage of early onset","year":"2010"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Ophthalmological Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criopm\/2016\/3806056.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criopm\/2016\/3806056.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criopm\/2016\/3806056.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,24]],"date-time":"2017-06-24T23:06:23Z","timestamp":1498345583000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/criopm\/2016\/3806056\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2016]]},"references-count":12,"alternative-id":["3806056","3806056"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2016\/3806056","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-6722","2090-6730"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2090-6722","type":"print"},{"value":"2090-6730","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2016]]}}}
