Abstract: Short-term post-acute neuropsychological, neurological, and neuroradiological test results and a 16-month follow-up of a 65-year-old patient with a right hemisphere ischemic lesion in the tuberothalamic area of vascular supply are reported. During a 6-week period of examinations the originally left- but trained right-handed patient exhibited fluctuating neuropsychological disorders including aphasia, visuo-perceptive and visuoconstructive disorders, and memory and attention deficits. In the follow-up examination the patient exhibited no aphasia and significant improvements in most neuropsychological tasks. Based on three-dimensional reconstruction of MRI, lesion topography and involvement of thalamic nuclei were established. We discuss the neuropsychological and neurological symptoms of the present case against the background of the 'syndrome of unilateral tuberothalamic artery territory infarction' proposed by Bogousslavsky and coworkers (1986) and the neuropsychological literature on unilateral ischemic anterior/anterolateral thalamic infarction.
