[Pure Amnesia].

Pure amnesia (amnesic syndrome) is an organic brain syndrome characterized by impairment in episodic memory, with either an anterograde or sometimes retrograde loss of memories. Although episodic memory is impaired, semantic memory, immediate memory, and procedural memory are preserved. The Papez circuit is a network of nerve fibers and nerve centers that starts and ends in the hippocampus travelling by way of the fornix, mammillary bodies, anterior thalamic nuclei, cingulate gyrus, and parahippocampal gyrus.

[Lateral geniculate body presenting only hemorrhage homonymous hemianopia-A case report].

We report a case of a 55-year-old man who developed acute-onset narrowing of his visual field. He showed right homonymous hemianopsia without any other neurological symptoms and signs. Brain CT and MRI showed localized hemorrhage (about 1.

[A case of representational dysgraphia and object representational disorder with unilateral spatial neglect].

We describe the case of a 48-year-old left-handed woman with unilateral neglect from a brain infarction in the area of the right basal ganglia and temporo-parieto-occipital lobe. When a Kanji character was dictated to her, she wrote only the right side (tukuri) of the character. When copying a picture from the visual image of a left-right asymmetrical object, such as the side view of the dog, she drew the tail and a hind leg immediately but was unable to draw a picture of the dog from the left side.

[A case of unilateral ischemic stroke with ipsilateral limb-kinetic apraxia].

A 74-year-old man developed aphasia, weakness of the right upper extremity and left limb-kinetic apraxia. Brain MRI showed an infarct in the area supplied by the left middle cerebral artery. Cerebral angiography revealed high grade stenosis with plaques of bilateral proximal internal carotid arteries.
