  • Title: [Right neglect with hemiasomatognosia, mental confusion, apraxia and agraphia without aphasia].
    Author: Cambier J, Masson M, Guillot M, Robine B.
    Journal: Rev Neurol (Paris); 1985; 141(12):802-5. PubMed ID: 3832299.
    Abstract:
    A 74 year-old woman was admitted with a right hemiplegia resulting from a left infarct that had totally destroyed the territory supplied by the middle and anterior cerebral arteries. The patient presented with anosognosia and hemiasomatognosia and negligence of the right half-field. She was aprosodic, not aphasic, and there was a severe apraxia and total agraphia. These neuropsychological disorders are discussed in relation to the contradictory data relative to the manual lateralization of the patient. Findings in this case of a "crossed apraxia" show that management of language and of the propositional gestures are not necessarily ensured by the same hemisphere. It also appears that manual preference may be a poor clue for interpretation in terms of functional lateralization.
