Final answer:

Gerstmann syndrome, a neurological disorder, has symptoms including agraphia or dysgraphia, acalculia, left-right disorientation, and finger agnosia, with lesions localized in the dominant parietal lobe.

Step-by-step explanation:

The symptoms referred to in the student's question do not align with Gerstmann syndrome, which is a neurological disorder characterized by a specific set of symptoms. However, if referring to Gerstmann syndrome, the four main symptoms include: difficulty with writing (agraphia or dysgraphia), difficulty with mathematics (acalculia), left-right disorientation, and an inability to identify fingers (finger agnosia). The lesions associated with Gerstmann syndrome are typically localized in the dominant parietal lobe of the brain.

If the student's inquiry relates to another condition with the presented symptoms, such as hypopigmented skin and loss of peripheral nerve function, it may be appropriate to clarify the question further for a precise answer.
