关于面容失认症的神经病理学基础已经出现了争议。一些研究者认为，需要双侧病变才能引起功能缺损，而另一些研究者认为，单侧右后病变就足够了。六例患者的临床和影像学证据的单侧右后方病变的面容失认症。我们的观察以及文献中描述的类似病例的证据表明，一个适当位置的右半球损伤可能足以产生面孔失认症。
Controversy has arisen regarding the neuropathological basis of prosopagnosia. Some investigators suggest that bilateral lesions are needed to cause the deficit, whereas others felt that a unilateral right posterior lesion is sufficient. Six patients with prosopagnosia with clinical and radiological evidence of unilateral right posterior lesions are presented. Our observations together with evidence from similar cases described in the literature suggest that an appropriately placed right hemispheric lesion may be sufficient to produce prosopagnosia.
