A symptom complex is described as Gerstmann's syndrome, which was first described by Josef Gerstmann in 1924. It consists of:

    *Agraphy (Difficulties in writing, which are not due to motor disturbances or intelligence reductions)
    *Calculus (Difficulty in calculating with normal intelligence)
    *Finger and toe agnosia (difficulty in naming and identifying your own fingers and toes)
    Left-right confusion

The term angularis syndrome is often used synonymously. However, this is considered as a separate entity (see there). The use of both terms is controversial. nl:Gerstmann-Syndrom
