Anosognosia is a condition in which a person who suffers
disability due to
brain injury seems unaware of or denies the existence of their handicap. This may include unawareness of quite dramatic impairments, such as
blindness or
paralysis. It was first named by
neurologist Joseph Babinski in
1914, although relatively little has been discovered about the cause of the condition since its initial identification. The word comes from the Greek words "nosos" disease and "gnosis" knowledge.
