We report a patient with a right cortical and subcortical temporo‐occipital lesion who showed spatial neglect mainly involving the left and the near peripersonal space. In drawing tasks the patient omitted the elements closer to him within each figure. A copying task with pairs of radially aligned line drawings demonstrated that the patient's radial neglect was based on within‐object coordinates. This novel observation extends the egocentric–allocentric distinction to the radial dimension.
