[A case of regressive prosopagnosia (author's transl)]

After bilateral cranial trauma a 20 year-old male patient presented severe prosopagnosia which regressed after five months before disappearing completely. Referring to this exceptional case of regressive prosopagnosia the authors discuss the influence of rehabilitation, and review the literature concerning this disorder. They stress its association with other neuropsychological deficiencies connected with right hemispheric lesions, such as topagnosia and disturbance of visual perception.
