Résumé
Right hemisphere lesions are known to impair, in many cases, visual recognition and visuospatial orientation. We report here on the compensatory strategies used by a patient whose posterior part of the right hemisphere was either destroyed or visually deafferented. She presented a slight appreceptive agnosia, memory disorders, and severe topographical disorientation. Her strategy relied on detail-by-detail analysis of buildings for recognition and on identification of landmarks and memorization of their sequences for finding routes. Time planning was impaired; the patient was unable to use a bi-dimensional timetable, but relied on a (linear) list of assignments. The linear, speech-related strategy she used was sustained uniquely by left hemisphere networks, since no processing of visual information occurred in the right hemisphere.
