In USA, half a million people died of stroke and fifteen million people were suffered with stroke. Estimates of the incidence of USN after stroke vary from 20% to 82%, and the impacts of USN can be far-reaching for patient's daily life, such as aggravating the severity of stroke and increasing patients’ finance burden. The types of USN are miscellaneous, and different assessments and interventions make widely divergent prognoses. The pathogenesis of USN has not been clarified completely, and the assessments and managements lack a unified and effective method. It is necessary to synthesize related research results in order to have a holistic grasp of USN after stroke comprehensively. The purposes of this review were to summarize the definition and classifications of USN in stroke patients, to analyze contributing factors and outcomes associated with USN.

Unilateral Spatial Neglect (USN) is a spatially specified deficit due to an acquired cerebral lesion. Stroke patients with USN fail to detect and/or respond to stimuli located contralaterally to their hemispheric lesion. In USA, half a million people died of stroke and fifteen million people were suffered with stroke. Estimates of the incidence of USN after stroke vary from 20% to 82%, and the impacts of USN can be far-reaching for patient's daily life, such as aggravating the severity of stroke and increasing patients’ finance burden. The types of USN are miscellaneous, and different assessments and interventions make widely divergent prognoses. The pathogenesis of USN has not been clarified completely, and the assessments and managements lack a unified and effective method. It is necessary to synthesize related research results in order to have a holistic grasp of USN after stroke comprehensively. The purposes of this review were to summarize the definition and classifications of USN in stroke patients, to analyze contributing factors and outcomes associated with USN. The assessments and managements of post-stroke USN were emphatically reviewed, so as to provide professionals with a full understanding of the symptom, effective assessment tools and management methods for better prevention and treatment of USN.
