单边空间疏忽(USN)的特征是在人际和人际空间上的疏忽,其差异是未知的。 我们评估了USN患者中这些形式的忽视。 我们提倡在人际空间内进行视线扫描,并使用眼睛摄像头测量注视运动。 我们在人际空间中发现了左侧视线扫描,但在人际空间中却发现了偏向右侧的视线扫描。 另外,当指示患者在人际空间向左看并将视线聚焦在中心时,视线已得到纠正。 因此,凝视测量有助于评估USN在空间忽略方面的差异。

Abstract
Unilateral spatial neglect (USN) is characterized by neglect in
peripersonal
and extrapersonal space, the disparity of which is unknown. We assessed
these forms of neglect in a patient with USN. We promoted sight scanning in
extrapersonal space and used an eye camera to measure gaze movement. We
found left-sided sight scanning in peripersonal space, but right-side-
biased
sight scanning in extrapersonal space. Additionally, line of sight was cor-
rected when the patient was instructed to look left in extrapersonal space and
to focus the line of sight at the center. Gaze measurement thus helped to as-
sess disparities in spatial neglect in USN.

1. Introduction
Healthy people are able to look around their space and attend to both the right
and left sides. These normal perceptions in peripersonal and extrapersonal spac-
es are bilateral. Unilateral spatial neglect (USN) describes the failure to attend to
one side of space. USN is regarded as a higher brain dysfunction that most
commonly follows right hemisphere damage; the frequency of USN is high in
these patients, approximately 40% [1]. Most USN cases improve within six

months [2], however, USN persists in 25% of patients [3]. This can severely af-
fect the ability to carry out activities of daily living (ADL). For instance, patients
with left USN may not eat food on the left side of their plate, or may forget to
use the brake on a wheelchair if it is located on the left-hand side. In this way,
USN has a great influence on ADL, and it is a factor that makes it difficult to re-
turn discharge to home.
USN is commonly evaluated using desk evaluations, which include, for exam-
ple, the line cancellation and line bisection tasks. A correlation has been reported
between desk evaluation results and ability to perform ADL [4]. However, desk
evaluation results can be improved by using the compensation strategy that aims
attention to the left side [4], however, behavior may be unadaptable in daily liv-
ing [5] [6]. Indeed, a previous study reported a difference between desk evalua-
tion results and ADL performance, whereby desk evaluation results do not nec-
essarily predict USN symptoms in ADL [7]. One explanation for these conflict-
ing findings may be the individual differences in the types of spatial neglect.
The human brain has a standard perception of space. The range of the hand is
called peripersonal space, and the space outside this is called extrapersonal
space. USN is often characterized by neglect in both peripersonal and extraper-
sonal space. For instance, Buxbaum
et al
. [8] reported the onset of neglect in pe-
ripersonal space in one case, but without neglect in extrapersonal space, but in
another case, the opposite was true. Thus, even now, there is no consistent opi-
nion about neglect in these different spaces. This could explain the disparity be-
tween ADL results and desk evaluation results, and suggests that separate evalu-
ations for peripersonal and extrapersonal space are required for the true evalua-
tion of USN.
Differences between desk evaluation and ADL results can also be seen in clin-
ical practice. One approach to improve ADL in patients with USN involves cor-
recting spatial attention or visual search. For the approach targeting spatial at-
tention, patients adapt to the neglect space voluntarily via a language strategy (a
language-related cue for example, or a strategy of internal speech, such as “you
must turn attention to the left side”). In addition, USN is attracted by unilateral
stimulation, from which it is hard to release attention. Therefore, USN is inter-
preted as not visually scanning in one direction. In contrast, there is training to
correct sight scanning using the language strategy to the left side. Many clinical
practitioners use these methods, and it is assumed that the effects spill over into
ADL. However, this is not necessarily the case. For example, language strategies
may help patients with USN to adapt to peripersonal space (relevant to desk
evaluations), but this does not affect extrapersonal space (relevant to ADL), in
which neglect persists.
In extrapersonal space, Nakatani
et al
. [9] measured rotation of the head by
attention to the left side in a patient with left USN. Consequently, the patient
turned the head to the left trying to find the left side. However, their report did
not consider compensatory strategies such as sight scanning. Prior to this, re-
ports have analyzed the movement of the gaze point using an eye camera that

tracks the sight scanning of a patient. Such an eye camera can observe move-
ment of the gaze point continuously and when the subject is in the active state,
the advantage of which is that the USN symptom can be clarified. For example,
Ishiai
et al
. [10] used an eye camera to record the movement of the gaze point
when a patient with USN who showed a left-side preference for visual search
performed the line bisection task.
In the current study, we describe the case of a patient with left USN following
right putamen bleeding, and in whom USN symptoms disappeared 85 days later,
according to desk examinations. Nevertheless, monitoring was necessary for the
ADL. We measured the movement of the gaze point of the left USN patient with
an eye camera and examined the following: 1) The difference between neglect in
peripersonal space and in extrapersonal space, and 2) The method to promote
sight scanning in extrapersonal space. Our findings seem to reveal the neurolog-
ical differences in spatial neglect in USN, and may facilitate the management of
USN.
2. Presentation of Case
The patient was a 75-year-old right-handed man. Following the development of
right headache and left hemiparesis in May 2010, he was urgently admitted to
hospital. On admittance, the patient showed anisocoria (Rt. 2 m/Lt. 3 m), severe
left hemiplegia, and left USN. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale
(NIHSS) [11] was 16/42 point at that time. A CT scan showed bleeding in the
left temporal lobe and the frontal lobe, and he was diagnosed with cerebral he-
morrhage. He was transferred to a specific hospital for rehabilitation 28 days
later.
The patient provided informed consent to participate in this study, which was
conducted in accordance with the tenets of the Declaration of Helsinki.
2.1. Neurological Findings
The patient showed lucidity, left central facial palsy, and left shift of tongue. Left
hemiplegia was upper limb stage I, lower limb stage II, and finger stage III. Knee
abduction-adduction and finger flexion was present, but only a little. The patient
showed deep tendon hyperreflexia of the left pectoralis, left biceps, left deltoid,
and brachioradialis. He showed the Hoffmann reflex and Babinski reflex. He did
not have hemianopia, apraxia, or aphasia.
2.2. Neuropsychological Findings
The patient scored 25/30 on the Mini-Mental State Examination. Bisection of
three 205-mm lines revealed slight rightward deviation (20 mm) from the mid-
point, and he received a diagnosis of USN
(Figure 1).
2.3. Neuroradiological Findings
Twenty-eight days later, a CT scan showed a high-density area of the right frontal
