Abstract

 

The present paper aims to outline an overview of national and international publications concerning research on the communicative, cognitive and behavioral impairments associated with a right hemisphere stroke. Research on LILACS and MEDLINE databases were done using keywords in Portuguese and in English: syndrome, hemisphere and right for the search on the right hemisphere impairments. Studies were selected taking into account inclusion criteria. Only few studies about these disorders were found, all of them international investigations. Cognitive disorders were the most frequently described. Sequelae including all cognitive functions, emotional and communicative processing are considered part of this set of right hemisphere impairments. More studies about the RHS are necessary to identify different clinical profiles and increase the efficiency of assessment and rehabilitation process.

Keywords: neuropsychology; cognition; right hemisphere; CVA.
