A callosal disconnection syndrome results in the functional independence of each hemisphere caused by ACA infarction, head injury or callosal operation for epilepsy. Clinical features are characterized by left unilateral tactile anomia, left unilateral agraphia, left unilateral apraxia, difficulty in copying drawings, dyscalculia and alien hand syndrome. Taeumchowe-tang(÷¼ëäðàêÖ÷·) is used to treat Taeumin(÷¼ëäìÑ) Wewansuhanpyohanbyung(êÖèÒáôùÎøúùÎÜ»). A 47 year-old man, following callosal infarction, was detected on MRI with left agraphia, dyscalculia and alien hand syndrome, but no left ideomotor apraxia or left apraxia. He was treated with Taeumchowe-tang. Significant improvement of clinical symptoms was seen, so it is here reported.
