Abstract
Article abstract Blindness and persistent agitated delirium developed abruptly in a 78-year-old man with an old left homonymous hemianopia. After a month, the delirium improved and he was left with a marked agitated dementia until his death a year and a half later. Any stimulus would evoke bursts of rage. He answered questions, shouting answers with an expressionless or angry manner. Postmortem examination demonstrated an encephalomalacia of the left hippcampus, parahippocampus, fusiform and lingual gyri, and pul-vinar. There was an old infarct involving the right superior temporal gyrus and inferior part of the supramarginal and angular gyri.
