We report a case of a 39-yr-old man with a bilateral occipito-parietal contusion. After conservative treatment at an emergency hospital, he was transferred to our hospital for rehabilitative intervention. On admission, he presented with mild cortical blindness and visual agnosia. As his visual acuity gradually improved, Balint's syndrome became apparent. This syndrome is characterized by difficulties with visual scanning, dysmetria secondary to visual perceptual deficits, and an inability to perceive more than one object at a time. After rehabilitative intervention, consisting of both visuo-per-ceptual retraining and a functional adaptation program, he was able to bathe and toilet independently. However, neuropsychological findings over 3 years remain consistent with Balint's syndrome.
