title: Recovery of object recognition in a case of simultanagnosia.
abstract: A case of visual agnosia is described. The patient, V C, complained of difficulties in identifying visual stimuli, after a stroke in the left occipital lobe. A neuropsychological examination demonstrated a range of symptoms consistent with (ventral) simultanagnosia, and a reaching disorder--suggesting Balint's syndrome. The patient's object recognition ability improved considerably over time.
