A 72-year-old man with pure topographical disorientation following a focal hemorrhage in the right forceps major of splenium was assessed at 2 weeks and 3 months after the onset. Initially, he could identify familiar buildings and landmarks, but noted topographical disorientation, dysfunction in sense of quarters, and in visuo-spatial function. The improvement of topographical disorientation was attained in 3 months, while the inability of the sense of quarters and manipulating visuo-spatial information remained unchanged. These results suggested the heading disorientation was accompanied with impaired sense of quarters, although disabled sense of quarters continued beyond the recovery of heading disorientation.
