[Right hemiplegia and spatial neglect with apraxia and agraphia without aphasia in a right-handed patient].
A 65 year-old right-handed woman was admitted after the sudden onset of a right dense hemiplegia. C.T. showed a large left infarction in the middle cerebral artery territory. There was a slight anosognosia and neglect of the right space without confusion. She had aprosodia but no aphasia. On the other hand, there was a severe apraxia and all the components of Gerstmann's syndrome were present. This suggests an unusual sattering of hemispheric functional dominances.
