Abstract
Hemiplegic stroke patients may have abnormal awareness or perception of the affected limb (s). For example, patients may experience their limb as not belonging to them (asomatognosia) or attribute their own body parts to other persons (somatoparaphrenia). Disturbed sensation of limb ownership (asomatognosia, somatoparaphrenia) for the hemiplegic limb has been reported in patients with right insula lesion. We report a case of a 70-year-old right handed female who had somatoparaphrenia and neglect dyslexia after right posterior cerebral artery and posterior corpus callosal infarction. Additionally, she showed visual defect, dyschromatopsia, and hemispatial neglect. (J Korean Acad Rehab Med 2009; 33: 361-364)
Key Words: Somatoparaphrenia, Neglect dyslexia
