BACKGROUND: Bálint's syndrome is characterized by the triad of ocular apraxia, dorsal simultanagnosia and optic ataxia. It most commonly occurs following bilateral parieto-occipital brain injury, for which several aetiologies have been described.CASE DESCRIPTION: We present a case of a 39-year-old male with penetrating brain injury following a suicide attempt with a crossbow. A CT scan of the head revealed the intracranial position of the arrow, piercing the parietal and occipital cortex from the left-parietal direction with the tip on the right parietal bone. After surgical removal of the arrow, visuospatial symptoms persisted that were consistent with Bálint's syndrome. The characteristic symptoms, patho-anatomy and treatment of this synd...
