SYNDROME OF FINGER AGNOSIA, DISORIENTATION FOR RIGHT AND LEFT, AGRAPHIA AND ACALCULIA: LOCAL DIAGNOSTIC VALUE

This paper is concerned with the syndrome, described by me some years ago, of finger agnosia, disorientation for right and left, agraphia and acalculia, appearing as a result of a cerebral lesion located in the transitional area of the lower parietal and the middle occipital convolution. In 1924 I first described the symptom of primary elective disability for recognizing, naming, selecting, differentiating and indicating the individual fingers of either hand, the patient's own as well as those of other persons, and called the condition "finger agnosia." Subsequent to this gnostic disorientation with respect to the fingers, restriction in their separate kinetic realization not infrequently occurs. I also showed that the symptom of finger agnosia is characteristically associated with disorientation for right and left in respect to the patient's own body, as well as that of other persons, with special reference to the hands and fingers. The symptoms tend to appear
