title: Balint's syndrome.
abstract: Balint's syndrome is usually attributed to bilateral parieto-occipital lesions. In several reported cases involvement of the frontal lobes was also documented and could be responsible for the "spasmodic fixation" often recorded in these patients. We report a case of Balint's syndrome in a patient with bilateral frontal and parieto-occipital metastases demonstrated by CT scan and confirmed by postmortem examination.
