    abstract = "Gerstmann's syndrome is a syndrome caused by lesions of the dominant parietal lobe. It has historically been a subject of dispute as it is often accompanied by other neuropsychological deficits such as aphasia. Novel neuropsychological tests and neuroimaging techniques have lately changed the perspective allowing to decode a conjunction of symptoms like Gerstmann's. In our case, we present Diffusion Tensor Imaging Tractography findings of a patient who acutely exhibited Gerstmann's tetrad. Using advanced structural neuroimaging we tested a hypothesis that up until recently could only be challenged post mortem. Our study offers much needed patient neuroimaging data helping to establish Gerstmann's as a disconnection syndrome. More reports of Gerstmann's syndrome patients including high resolution tractography and fMRI data are needed. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd"
