Ipsilateral constructional apraxia.
Two boys, aged 7 and 12 years, with nondominant (right) hemispheric acquired vascular lesions and left visual-field disturbances had right spatial constructional disabilities, contralateral to that which would be expected. These unusual disturbances may represent the previously unreported phenomena of ipsilateral neglect or ipsilateral constructional apraxia.
