| Rode et al (105) | 69 | F | Right parietotemporo-occipital | Somatoparaphrenia, anosagnosia, limb neglect, logorrhea | Infarct, no mention of EEG or seizures |
| Assal (106) | 86 | F | Right parietofrontotemporal | Somatoparaphrenia, anosagnosia, limb neglect | Embolus, no mention of EEG or seizures |
| Miura et al (107) | 77 | F | Left lateral thalamus, internal capsule, lateral geniculate body, hippocampus, caudate nucleus and medial occipitotemporal gyrus | Somatoparaphrenia, anosognosia, disorientation, right unilateral spatial neglect and mild amnesic aphasia | Infarct, no mention of EEG or seizures |
Note: We were unable to find any published description of pure post-lesion somatic hallucination in a child, except the case reported by Fujii et al (108) of paresthesia in a 4-year-old child with a left parietal lipoma.
