[Neuropsychological diagnosis and localization of brain lesions: their agreement with other examination visits (author's transl)].

Neuropsychological diagnoses were compared with those of clinical examination and the results of electro- and pneumoencephalography, angiography, brain-scan and with the final diagnoses in a random sample of 319 patients. A significant correspondence between neuropsychological findings and final diagnosis was found. The agreements were closer for the side than for the lobe of damage. The results indicate that the neuropsychological assessment usefully supplements other neurological methods in the diagnosis and localization of brain-damage.
