Asomatognosia
Asomatognosia is characterized as loss of recognition or awareness of part of the body.[1][2] The failure to acknowledge, for example, a limb, may be expressed verbally or as a pattern of neglect. The limb may also be attributed to another person, a delusion known as somatoparaphrenia. However, they can be shown their limb and this error is temporarily corrected.[3][4] All asomatognosic patients show hemispatial neglect.[5]
