Bacterial meningitis in adults: demonstration of inner ear involvement using high-resolution MRI.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Unilateral temporoparietal injury may result in an attentional deficit for stimuli presented in contralesional space. Thus, bilateral temporoparietal degeneration associated with Alzheimer disease (AD) might result in a bilateral attentional disturbance. Tests for hemispatial neglect, however, primarily asses...
