Anosognosia for right hemiplegia from dominant anterior cerebral artery stroke.

摘要

To the Editor: Anosognosia for hemiplegia (AHP), neglect of weakness after an acute brain lesion, is a phenomenon most commonly described in nondominant-hemisphere strokes,1'2 and when occurring in dominant hemisphere in-farcts it has not been characterized according to specific arterial territorial infarction. We describe a unique right-handed patient presenting with anosognosia for right hemi-paresis found to have a dominant anterior cerebral artery (ACA) infarct.
