A review of patients with brain injury showing personal neglect is presented. The aim is to shed light on this aspect of neglect often unresearched or only indirectly investigated, and to discuss recent findings concerning the methods used to assess personal neglect, its neural correlates and its association with the more often explored aspect of extrapersonal neglect. The review was performed using PubMed and PsychInfo databases to search for papers published in the last 123 years (until January 2018). We reviewed 81 papers describing either single or group studies for a total of 2247 patients. The results of this review showed that various aspects of personal neglect are still controversial and outcomes potentially contradictory. Despite the data reported in the present review suggest that personal neglect is more frequently associated with lesions of the right hemisphere, the left hemisphere may also play an important role. Not surprisingly, personal neglect and extrapersonal neglect seem to co-occur. However double dissociations of these two forms of neglect have been reported, and they seem to dissociate both from a functional and an anatomical perspective. More recent interpretations of personal neglect suggest that it may result from a disrupted body representation. The development of reliable psychometric tools with shared diagnostic criteria is essential to identify different degrees of personal neglect for different body parts and to better refine personal neglect in comparison to extrapersonal neglect and disorders related to distortions of personal domain.

“被忽视”的个人忽视


对显示个人忽视的脑损伤患者进行了回顾。目的是阐明经常未经研究或仅间接研究的忽视这一方面，并​​讨论有关评估个人忽视的方法、其神经相关性及其与更经常探索的个人忽视方面的关联的最新发现。该审查是使用 PubMed 和 PsychInfo 数据库搜索过去 123 年（截至 2018 年 1 月）发表的论文。我们回顾了 81 篇论文，描述了总共 2247 名患者的单项或小组研究。本次审查的结果表明，个人忽视的各个方面仍然存在争议，结果可能相互矛盾。尽管本综述报告的数据表明个人忽视更频繁地与右半球的病变相关，但左半球也可能发挥重要作用。毫不奇怪，个人忽视和个人之外的忽视似乎同时发生。然而，这两种忽视形式的双重分离已经被报道，而且它们似乎从功能和解剖学的角度来看都是分离的。最近对个人忽视的解释表明，这可能是由于身体表征被破坏造成的。开发具有共同诊断标准的可靠心理测量工具对于识别不同身体部位的不同程度的个人忽视，以及与个人之外的忽视和与个人领域扭曲相关的疾病相比，更好地完善个人忽视至关重要。
