title: Topographic disorientation--a case report.
abstract: Topographical disorientation can be dissociated in two levels, agnosic and amnesic. A case of topographical disorientation due to a glioma of the splenium of corpus callosum illustrates the dissociation between the topographical memory impairment and the normal performances on the perceptual topographic tests.
