Right hemisphere brain damage (RHD) is the result of injury to the right cerebral hemisphere. [1] The right hemisphere of the brain coordinates tasks for functional communication, which include problem solving, memory, and reasoning. [1] Deficits caused by right hemisphere brain damage vary depending on the location of the damage. [2]
right hemisphere brain damage and developmental right hemisphere syndrome [10] [24] [25] social-emotional processing disorder [26] [27] Gerstmann syndrome [28] [29] There is diagnostic overlap between nonverbal learning disorder and autism, and some clinicians and researchers consider them to be the same condition.
Anosognosia is a condition in which a person with a disability is cognitively unaware of having it due to an underlying physical condition. Anosognosia results from physiological damage to brain structures, typically to the parietal lobe or a diffuse lesion on the fronto-temporal-parietal area in the right hemisphere, [1] [2] [3] and is thus a neuropsychiatric disorder.
Cerebral infarction, also known as an ischemic stroke, is the pathologic process that results in an area of necrotic tissue in the brain (cerebral infarct). [1] In mid to high income countries, a stroke is the main reason for disability among people and the 2nd cause of death. [2]
Her heart rate and respiration rate became slow by days three and four. Later she developed a yellow jaundiced appearance in the sclera and skin that the doctor proposed as paroxysmal hemoglobinuria upon autopsy.
TMoA is generally characterized by reduced speech output, which is a result of dysfunction of the affected region of the brain. [1] The left hemisphere is usually responsible for performing language functions, although left-handed individuals have been shown to perform language functions using either their left or right hemisphere depending on ...
Their drawings contain fewer angles, spatial alterations, a lack of perspective and simplifications, which are uncharacteristic of left hemisphere or right hemisphere patients. Constructional disabilities are present early on in the disease and get progressively worse over time; [ 4 ] however even patients with advanced Alzheimer's disease may ...
Hemispatial neglect is a neuropsychological condition in which, after damage to one hemisphere of the brain (e.g. after a stroke), a deficit in attention and awareness towards the side of space opposite brain damage (contralesional space) is observed.
