@drroussakis When the patient has a dense hemianopia or a dense somatosensory deficit, it makes it impossible to test neglect solely based on double simultaneous stimulation visually or by touch. However, you can still detect neglect by the higher order degrees of neglect such as ignoring the voice of the examiner when on the left side or not recognizing the left side of the body as the patient's own.

what happens when there is left hemianopia seen while scoring item 3. Is this considered also a neglect sign?
