[Temporary mirror writing and mirror reading as disinhibition phenomena? A case study].
After removal of a left parietal meningioma a 74-year-old right-handed woman developed temporary mirror writing and mirror reading. Further analysis of the mirror phenomena came from tachistoscopic hemifield stimulation showing a right hemisphere superiority for the recognition of words presented in mirror fashion. These neuropsychological results are discussed in the context of common concepts. Finally the hypothesis of bihemispheral mirror-image engrams according to Orton will be suggested as a comprehensive explanation and supported by evidence from the literature.
