A 39‐year‐old woman with a right sensory level at T3 involving touch, pain, temperature, vibration, and position was found to have a small hemorrhage in the superior part of the postcentral gyrus. This case points out an unusual clinical presentation of parietal lobe lesion and provides clinicoanatomical correlation of the somatatopic organization of the sensory cortex. Furthermore, it confirms that sensory disturbance with a segmental level suggestive of a spinal cord lesion can be caused by a parietal lesion.
