title: Gerstmann tetrad in leopard syndrome.
abstract: We report a 12-year-old boy with multiple lentigines (Leopard) syndrome who was evaluated for learning difficulties and Gerstmann tetrad syndrome (i.e., dyscalculia, left-right disorientation, finger agnosia, and dysgraphia). Cranial computed tomography revealed left ventriculomegaly, more pronounced in the occipital horn suggesting mild atrophy of the left parietal lobe. This is the first report of an association between the Leopard and Gerstmann syndromes and one of the few to demonstrate a computed tomographic abnormality in the latter.
