“…Although field defects have obvious importance, it is difficult to see how they can account for the highly specific nature of the disorder. Further, appreciable intellectual loss is by no means always present, as in our present case and in those of Pallis (1955) and Bornstein and Kidron (1959).…”

“…This patient also exhibited symptoms of prosopagnosia and achromatopsia, which have been reported in several other cases of topographical disorientation (e.g. Bornstein and Kidron, 1959;Beyn and Knyazeva, 1962;Pevzner et al, 1962).…”

The literature on topographical disorientation is reviewed with respect to different types of spatial representation and modes of navigation. It is argued that there is not a strong case for the existence of separate representations for, on the one hand, the identity of environmental features, and, on the other hand, the location of environmental features relative to other landmarks. Identity and location may be considered more profitably as two aspects of one spatial mapping system, which encodes allocentric spatial relationships and permits landmark-based navigation. Egocentric spatial relationships, however, may also be important in navigation. It is argued that damage to the dorsal areas that are implicated in the updating and manipulation of egocentric reference frames, as well as damage to the allocentric system, may result in topographical disorientation.

“…The case of Pevsner et al (1962), reported in life by Bornstein and Kidron (1959) showed the following findings at necropsy: 'In the middle of the left inferior parietal lobule, in the angular gyrus and in the upper part of the superior temporal sulcus, a yellow-brown, slightly depressed lesion, 3 cm in diameter was found.The anterior border of this lesion was formed by the angular gyrus and it extended on to the parietooccipital sulcus which also formed its posterior border. These macroscopic findings at autopsy extended to a depth of 1 mm.…”
