Oral and written speech centers are commonly attributed to the dominant hemisphere, while body, spatial and facial recognition to the non-dominant. This paper examines the case of a 63 year old entirely right-handed male who presents alexia, agraphia, difficulties in spelling and word-finding together with left spatial and body agnosia, musical, letter and face agnosia, constructional apraxia and left hemianopsia. Computerized axial tomography confirms a right occipital tumor identified as an adeno-carcinoma probably of digestive origin. The role of right hemisphere as a spatial prerequisite to final elaborate speech is discussed.
口语和书面语言中枢通常位于优势半球，而躯体、空间和面部识别中枢则位于非优势半球。本文报告了一例63岁的男性患者，他完全惯用右手，表现为失读症、失写症、拼写和找词困难，同时伴有左侧空间和躯体失认、音乐、字母和面容失认、结构性失用症以及左侧偏盲。计算机断层扫描证实右侧枕叶有一个肿瘤，经鉴定为可能起源于消化系统的腺癌。本文还讨论了右半球作为最终精细语言加工的空间前提的作用。
