I thank Dr. Hassan for the clarification on our Video NeuroImage.1 Magnetic apraxia is surely related to a frontal lobe dysfunction. In his classification of motor apraxia, Denny-Brown distinguished a “frontal, magnetic apraxia” from a “parietal, repellent apraxia.”2 The first, described in our case,1 is characterized by prominence and persistence of instinctive grasping behaviors. The second type consists of avoiding reactions, levitation of the extremities, and parietal lobe damage is often identifiable.2
