Ref. | Age at diagnosis(yr), gender | Precipitating factors | Clinical presentation other than prosopagnosia | Neuro-imaging | Face recognition test | Object recognition test |
Fadelalla et al[4], 2019 | 42, female | Acute aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage | Headache, seizure, decreased level of consciousness, blurred vision in right eye, alexia, simultagnosia, impaired within-class object recognition | CT scan showed diffuse SAH, MRI (8 mo) showed presence of hemosiderin deposition around corpus callosum | WRMT: 38/501 | VOSP (part): 78/80 |
Sugimoto et al[9], 2012 | 82, female | Cerebral infarction in the right PCA | Sudden and transient deterioration of visual acuity, left homonymous hemianopsia, left unilateral spatial agnosia | MRI showed a high signal area in the posterior region of the splenium of the corpus callosum of the right occipital lobe. PET showed decreased oxygen metabolism in the right occipital, temporal lobe | Familiar faces identification test: 0/91; discriminating unfamiliar faces: 31/401 and matching unfamiliar faces: 32/541 | N/A |
Tohgi et al[10], 1994 | 62, male | Cerebral infarction in the territory of PCA | Left upper quadrantanopia in the right eye, metamorphopsia, blurred faces on the TV. Visual acuity was 0.5 in the right eye, 0.6 in the left | MRI showed infarctions in right occipital-temporal areas | Discriminating unfamiliar faces: Impaired | Normal |
Ettlin et al[11], 1992 | 54, male | Stepwise succession of infarction | Left homonymous hemianopsia, reversible decreased vision, right superior quadrantanopia, visuo-perceptual and constructional difficulties. Visual acuity with correction was 20/30 in the right and 20/25 in the left eye | Infarction in the right parietal border zone territory, followed by a large occipital/parietal posterior-medial-temporal infarction, and a hemorrhage involving the left parieto-occipital area | Benton matching task: 6/271; famous faces test: 01 | Normal |
Habib et al[12], 1986 | 71, female | Right infection in the territory of PCA | Sudden onset of vertigo, posterior cephalalgia, intense palpitations, blurred vision, left hemianopia, impairment of topographical memory, handwriting recognition impairment, emotional changes | CT showed infarction in the territory of the posterior right occipital-temporal area | Famous faces test: Poor | Partially impaired |
Renzi et al[13], 1986 | 73, male | Ischemic stroke | Blurred vision, dense left hemianopia without macula sparing, moderate left visual neglect, topographical disorientation | CT (12 mo) showed an extensive softening involving the entire territory of the right posterior cerebral artery | LEVIN’s face recognition test: 18/271; face memory test: 26/481 | N/A |
