Clinical Information
- A visual agnosia usually due to brain damage and characterized by an inability to recognize familiar faces, and in some cases, one's own face.
- An inability to recognize or interpret objects by sight.
- Impaired ability to recognize other human faces in the absence of a vision disorder. It may be a congenital disorder or the result of brain injury.
- The inability to recognize a familiar face or to learn to recognize new faces. This visual agnosia is most often associated with lesions involving the junctional regions between the temporal and occipital lobes. The majority of cases are associated with bilateral lesions, however unilateral damage to the right occipito-temporal cortex has also been associated with this condition. (from cortex 1995 jun;31(2):317-29)
