Abstract
The article describes a case study of visual agnosia in which neuropsychological assessment was carried out on a 70-year-old woman В. She cannot recognize familiar faces and even her own. She exhibits a sheer case of topographical agnosia being unable to recognize familiar surroundings. Although she passed standard color tests she fails to recognize color pictures and to name colors. She has problems with recognizing letters despite retaining writing skills. These deficiencies have been caused by the bilateral lesions of the inferior areas of the temporal-parietal-occipital lobes.
