What is it about?
Objective: In apraxia, the lack of skill in doing a previously learned task occurs without obvious weakness in the limbs. Material and Method: In this case report, we present a with brain atrophy, diagnosed with posterior cortical atrophy and meningioma tumor in the frontal region, has referred to the clinic. In this patient, due to the analysis of the parietal and frontal cortex of the patient's brain, despite being able to write and draw shapes in the past, they now forget this skill and suffer from ideomotor apraxia. Also, this patient has slowness and weakness due to severe tumor involvement.

Why is it important?
Result: Accurate and timely diagnosis of especially in prevalent can prevent the unwarranted complications and reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with in allogeneic/autologous transplant recipients. Conclusion: This particular disorder is seen in patients with degeneration of the parietal and frontal cortex of the brain (in dementia, brain tumors and stroke).
Perspectives
Limb apraxia can include a wide range of higher order movement disorders that result from an acquired brain disease that affects the performance of learned and skilled movements. According to the existing definitions and history of this disorder, this disorder cannot be caused by the effects of elemental neurological defects such as weakness, loss of sensation, abnormalities of posture, tone or movement.
