Abstract

Patient, male, 67, was diagnosed as having ischemic degenerative changes in the fronto-parietal cortical area of the left hemisphere due to the occlusion of the middle cerebral artery. Clinical picture was characterized by right-sided hemiparesis in the upper right shoulder and relative weakness in the right leg, as well as motor aphasia. Patient was tested on hemineglect (HN) after 2 years of the initial stroke. No signs of HN were revealed in line bisection and cancelation tasks, as well as in copying the clock and Rey-Osterrieth figure from a sample. Drawing clock and Rey-Osterrieth figure from memory was characterized by omission of details from the left side of figures, suggesting left HN at a representational level.
