Abstract
We report 2 patients who developed a neglect syndrome, anosognosia, and major depression immediately after a right hemisphere cerebrovascular lesion. These cases demonstrate that neglect, anosognosia, and major depression may coexist in the same patient, and that the presence of anosognosia does not preclude the patient's recognition of emotional impairment.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
