We evaluated 46 patients with right hemisphere strokes for unilateral spatial neglect (USN), anosognosia, hemiasomatognosia, extinction, constructional disturbance, motor Impersistence organic mental syndrome. High correlations were found among the incidences of USN, anosognosia, hemiasomatognosia, extinction, motor impersistence constructional disturbance. USN, hemiasomatognosia, motor impersistence, constructional disturbance anosognosia tended to occur with large lesions. Organic personality syndrome was frequent (33%) was more often associated with USN, anosognosia, hemiasomatognosia, extinction, constructional disturbance motor impersistence than other psychiatric symptoms.
