Zusammenfassung

Anosognosie bezeichnet das mit einer Hirnschädigung einhergehende Nichterkennen einer real bestehenden Parese, kortikalen Blindheit, Hemianopsie oder Taubheit. Die vorliegende Übersicht beschäftigt sich mit der Anosognosie der Hemiparese. Diese Störung gehört zu denjenigen Phänomenen der Neurologie, die leicht übersehen werden können. Da jedoch das Erkennen einer Anosognosie für die Behandlung der Parese wichtig ist, werden hier die Symptome und die diagnostischen Möglichkeiten dargestellt.

Abstract

The term anosognosia refers to the phenomenon that patients with hemiparesis, hemianopia, cortical blindness, or deafness do not recognise their respective deficit. The present review addresses anosognosia for hemiparesis. This disorder is one of those phenomena in clinical neurology that can easily be overlooked. However, since the identification of anosognosia is essential for a successful treatment of the paresis, the present article describes the symptoms and the possibilities to diagnose anosognosia.
