| ICD-10 online (WHO version 2019) | |
The Anton-Babinski syndrome is a rare neurological syndrome . It describes a unilateral asomatognosia after damage to the non-dominant, mostly right-sided, parietal hemisphere . The Anton Babinski syndrome goes back to the two neurologists Gabriel Anton (1858-1933) and Joseph Babinski (1857-1932).
The Anton Babinski syndrome is not to be confused with Anton syndrome , which describes cortical blindness.
Symptoms
A neglect is typical for sensations from the contralateral side of the body in connection with anosognosia . Either the existence of the affected side of the body is not noticed and it is ignored, or the conviction arises that the affected side of the body belongs to another person. As a further consequence, an allesthesia can occur in which sensory stimuli on the affected side of the body are mutually perceived.
Anatomical
Similar to a neglect, the disorder usually arises after damage to the right-sided (non-dominant) parietal cortex .
