Delusional+Denial

Frequently, patients with **right inferior parietal lesions**, when confronted with their unused or immobile limbs may (at least initially) deny that it belongs to them or swear there is nothing wrong. More often, however, they tend to ignore their left half. In some cases, however, patients may perceive the left half of their body but refer to it using ego-alien language, such as "my little sister", "my better half", "my friend Tommy", "my brother-in-law", "spirits", etc. Some patients may develop a dislike for their left limbs, try to throw them away, become agitated when they are referred to, entertain persecutory delusions regarding them, and even complain of of strange people sleeping in their beds due to their experience of bumping into their left limbs during the night.
