[The Korsakov syndrome in light of the concept of functional asymmetry of the brain].
An analysis of 10 cases with acute brain disorders (severe brain damage, ruptures of vascular aneurysms permits the authors to assume that the Korsakoff syndrome developes in those patients who at the initial phase of the disease had comatose conditions with subsequent focal symptoms mainly of the right hemisphere and diencephalic area. The author demonstrates the psychopathological traits of the Korsakoff syndrome which differ from the amnestic syndrome developing in focal lesions of the left hemisphere.
