Abstract EN
We presented a case of a 19-year-old woman who suffered from anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor encephalitis associated with ovarian teratoma.
The patient showed a variety of higher visual symptoms which changed over the recovery phase of the disease.
In chronological order, she experienced cortical blindness, amblyopia, dyschromatopsia, static form agnosia, and prosopagnosia.
Among these symptoms, the most intriguing was the static form agnosia.
Although she could recognize the forms of moving objects, she could not make out those of stationary ones.
All of these visual symptoms were transient, implying that she might have incidentally regained the function of the distinct cortical visual areas in the time course of follow-up.
This case further suggests that visual functions concerned with the perceptions of static form and form-from-motion could be dissociable and may rely on distinct brain regions.
