Dissociation between personal and extrapersonal neglect has rarely been observed in man. In this study we present a case of severe personal neglect in the absence of a deficit for extrapersonal space. An extensive neuropsychological assessment demonstrates the absence of cognitive impairments in visuo-spatial processing and confirms the selective presence of a severe representational deficit of the left side of the body.

Abstract
Dissociation between personal and extrapersonal neglect has rarely been observed in man. In this study we present a case of severe personal neglect in the absence of a deficit for extrapersonal space. An extensive neuropsychological assessment demonstrates the absence of cognitive impairments in visuo-spatial processing and confirms the selective presence of a severe representational deficit of the left side of the body.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
