Extract

Inability to dress oneself is a rare symptom in focal brain lesions. We have observed it in two cases, a tumour expanding between the cerebral hemispheres, and a case of head injury in which the mental condition was sufficiently intact to allow a detailed analysis: In discussing the imperception phenomena of the tumour case, we have referred to certain others of relevant interest.
