CNN reports:
Sen. Edward Kennedy has a
malignant brain tumor. The hospital treating Kennedy released a
statement today saying that the tumor was found during tests after
the senator had a seizure Saturday. The tumor is in his left
parietal lobe.
From the Centre for Neuro Skills website:
Damage to the left parietal lobe can result in what
is called "Gerstmann's Syndrome." It includes right-left confusion,
difficulty with writing (agraphia) and difficulty with mathematics
(acalculia). It can also produce disorders of language (aphasia)
and the inability to perceive objects normally (agnosia).
