Illustration of the brain lesion of Mr. I. Panel (A) Onset CT-scan of Mr. I's brain revealing acute hematoma with mass effect affecting frontal and parietal lobes, pre- and post-central gyrus. The pyramidal pathway was affected to a lesser extent. Panel (B) 6 months post-onset MRI showing a remaining porencephalic cavity in a post-central location, affecting the superior parietal lobe, the posterior part of the para-central gyrus, the anterior part of the supra-marginal gyrus. A portion of the arcuate fasciculus is affected too. No remaining mass effect is observed.

I), who presented with a left acute hematoma, affected frontal and parietal lobes, pre et post-central gyrus, and the pyramidal pathway to a lesser extent (see Figure 1) due to surgical treatment of a subdural hematoma 3 years earlier. A part of the arcuate fasciculus is affected too (see Figure 1).
Evolution of the drawing-a-man test during 3 years of follow up. (A) First test 4 months after the brain injury. (B) 2nd test at 12 months. (C) Third test at 24 months. (D) Fourth test at 36 months.
