Abstract
The case is reported of a patient who, after a left occipital infarction, presented a deficit in naming visually presented objects with neither aphasia, nor perturbation in the perceptive and associative processing of visual informations. This visuo-verbal disconnection was accompanied by disturbance of the semantic function when this was explored via the visual channel. In addition the patient showed an alexia which could be described as an abstraction defect. Finally, the patient showed a deficit in naming colors and faces, without evidence for agnosia. This observation argues in favor of maintaining a distinction between visual associative agnosia and optic aphasia. It also demonstrates that the naming deficit implies a deficit in extracting semantic values from visual informations such as objects or graphic symbols.

This paper would never have been written without Professor Zangwill’s urging, and I am grateful to him for having brought me to a more careful review of the older literature and a more precise statement of my own ideas.

Bilateral hippocampal lesions produced the most severe impairment and larger lesions of frontal or right posterior cortex severely impaired maze learning, suggesting that size as well as locus of cortical lesion may be a factor in maze-performance.

The observations clearly indicate that impairment in facial recognition, as assessed by the procedures utilized in the study, is rather closely associated with disease of the right hemisphere.

The case presented in this paper was another case of alexia without agraphia with some special features, and it is pointed out that this syndrome has turned out to be remarkably common, despite the fact that only a few years ago its very existence was questioned.

There is a high correlation between performance on this task and on a visually-guided stylus maze, and scores for patients with unilateral excisions invading parts of the parietal lobe, but not necessarily restricted to it, were correlated with lesion size.

A 73 year old left-handed male artist who presented with agnosic symptoms following an occipital cerebral vascular accident was generally unable to identify single objects on visual presentation, and displayed marked difficulty in interpreting complex objects, depicted scenes, and partially occluded figures.

The poor copying, contrasted to better spontaneous drawing, suggested apperceptive agnosia as well, and the stages of recognition are analysed through this case of visual verbal disconnection and the importance of memory in perception is highlighted.

This case is the first recorded case in the literature of alexia without agraphia with a right homonymous hemianopia caused by a tumor and this course and the associated radiographic findings should differentiate the neoplastic from the vascular etiology of this most fascinating syndrome.

A 71 year-old female patient was investigated after a double left hemispheric lesion of vascular origin and the main neurological disorder was a right homonymous hemianopia, which represents what is proposed to call visual apraxia.

Evidence suggests the presence of independent pathways for meaningful representation of objects and pictures, written material, familiar faces, and, perhaps, colors in the right hemisphere is important in analyzing visual material beyond the perceptual level.

A right-handed 77-year-old man presented with a left homonymous lateral hemianopsia involving the macula, which supports the role in man of the inferior occipital infarct and suggests that this region of the cortex is analogous with the inferotemporal cortex of monkeys which has been shown to be a determinant for the elaboration of visual objects.
