Abstract
We report a patient who had a callosal infarct, showed by Computer Tom ography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging, without injury to the adjacent hemispheres. Angiography revealed an occlusion of both internal carot id arteries. Besides interhemispheric disconnection with unilateral le ft agraphia, left tactile anemia, left ideomotor apraxia and left ear auditivoverbal extinction, the patient showed signs of left hemineglec t and astasia-abasia, both persistent.
