Anosognosia for hemiplegia

Somatosensory evoked potential studies

From the Department of Neurology, School of Medicine, Medical College of Georgia, Augusta.

Somatosensory evoked potential studies in nine patients with anosognosia for left hemiplegia and in one patient with anosognosia for right hemiplegia revealed an absence of response over either hemisphere on stimulation of the median nerve on the hemiplegic side. This apparent lack of cortical processing may underlie the impaired awareness of the hemiplegic side, manifested as anosognosia.

Dr. Green's address is Department of Neurology, Medical College of Georgia, Augusta, GA 30902.

Read at the twenty-seventh annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurology, Bal Harbour, Florida, April 1975.
