Abstract

|
|
We report a case of 53-year-old woman with personification following right middle cerebral artery territory infarction. Although she knew that her paralyzed left limbs belonged to her, she behaved as if it is a separate person. Verbalization of hatred toward her left arm was frequently observed. She attributed her neurologic deficit to the left arm instead of herself, frequently complaining in a fashion that 'I(a person except for the left arm) am all right but he/she(left arm) is wrong'. This delusional beliefs were mainly confined to her paralysed left limb, and were accompanied by left spatial neglect, transient anosognosia for hemiplegia and right-left disorientation.
