Ipsilateral hyperschematia without spatial neglect after right frontal lesion.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The disorder is described as a size distortion involving the side of space. We report the case of a woman with an ipsilateral hyperschematia without neglect after a right frontal lesion. The patient has exhibited a disproportionate enlargement of the right-hand side of objects and added more left-sided petals to the drawn daisy. This pathologic behavior is independent from spatial neglect and from classic frontal perseverations. Our data support the presence of a spatial component to the perception of object size and a specific sub-component of space distortion.

Spatial Hyperschematia without Spatial Neglect after Insulo-Thalamic Disconnection
Different spatial representations are not stored as a single multipurpose map in the brain. Right brain-damaged patients can show a distortion, a compression of peripersonal and extrapersonal space. Here we report the case of a patient with a right insulo-thalamic disconnection without spatial neglect. The patient, compared with 10 healthy control subjects, showed a constant and reliable increa...
متن کاملIs the intact side really intact? Perseverative responses in patients with unilateral neglect: a productive manifestation.
The main defective manifestations of extra-personal unilateral spatial neglect concern the side of space contralateral to the hemispheric lesion (contralesional). Since the disorder is more frequent and severe after damage to the right hemisphere, patients typically fail to explore the left side and ignore stimuli located in that sector of space. The patients' behaviour in the side of space ips...
متن کاملHyperschematia after right brain damage: a meaningful entity?
In recent years we reported three right-brain-damaged patients, who exhibited a left-sided disprortionate expansion of drawings, both by copying and from memory, contralateral to the side of the hemispheric lesion (Neurology, 67: 1801, 2006, Neurocase 14: 369, 2008). We proposed the term "hyperschematia" for such an expansion, with reference to an interpretation in terms of a lateral leftward d...
متن کاملRight side neglect in right cerebellar lesion.
A patient is described who developed right side hemineglect after a right cerebellar lesion. This spatial disorder was interpreted as a secondary effect of a deficit of the motor organisation in the right hemispace due to left frontal diaschisis. The pathological base may be the interruption of a highly integrated system which includes the lateral cerebellum and the contralateral frontal lobe.
متن کاملDamage to white matter pathways in subacute and chronic spatial neglect: a group study and 2 single-case studies with complete virtual "in vivo" tractography dissection.
The exact anatomical localization of right hemisphere lesions that lead to left spatial neglect is still debated. The effect of confounding factors such as acute diaschisis and hypoperfusion, visual field defects, and lesion size may account for conflicting results that have been reported in the literature. Here, we present a comprehensive anatomical investigation of the gray- and white matter ...
