Abstract
Abstract Left-hemisphere infarct in a 58-year-old man failed to produce aphasia but did result in impaired visuospatial ability and in specific higher-order linguistic deficits. Right-hemisphere language laterality was confirmed by amytal tests. The findings suggest that right-hemisphere language dominance (a) may appear in conjunction with left-hemisphere laterality for nonlanguage functions and (b) may impose limitations on linguistic functions similar to those observed in cases of early left hemispherectomy.
