Abstract
A patient is described who developed right side hemineglect after a right c erebellar lesion. This spatial disorder was interpreted as a secondary effe ct of a deficit of the motor organisation in the right hemispace due to lef t frontal diaschisis. The pathological base may be the interruption of a hi ghly integrated system which includes the lateral cerebellum and the contra lateral frontal lobe.
