[Neuropsychological analysis of transitory partial performance disorders. A video and MRI supported study].

Apraxia is an impairment of voluntary movements not caused by paresis, sensory deficits or aphasia. It appears mainly after left-hemispheric parietal or callosal lesions. Our patient had a temporary apraxia that could be correlated with the development of the perifocal area around a left parietooccipital cerebral bleeding. These neuropsychological disorders belonged to the development and the disappearance of the perifocal area as seen via several MRI.
