摘要
Neglect phenomena may occur in both extrapersonal and personal space. Whereas extrapersonal neglect has been found associated with both right-and left-sided brain lesions, no case of right personal neglect following a left-sided lesion has been so far reported. We describe a right-handed female patient who, after two left-hemisphere strokes, exhibited a florid personal neglect, but no extrapersonal neglect, anosognosia or somatoparaphrenia. The symptom persisted for a few weeks and then gradually disappeared. At least in the early phase of disease, a personal neglect can also be observed in patients with left brain damage.
