right parietal lobe syndrome

Right parietal lobe syndrome occurs when the right side of the brain's parietal lobe is damaged, often from stroke or injury. This area helps with spatial awareness and attention to the environment. Symptoms can include neglecting or ignoring the left side of space, leading to difficulty noticing or responding to objects, people, or sensations on that side. Patients may also have trouble with recognizing objects or themselves in space, affecting daily activities. The severity varies, but the main issue is a diminished awareness of the left side due to impaired brain function.
