We reported a case of 66-year-old right handed woman who showed geographical mislocation due to the right caudate infarction. She complained that she was at home which was reconstructed quite the same as her room in the hospital. Her compliment was observed only from the night to early in the morning. But, in the day-time, she recognized that she was at the room of the hospital. She remembered and could explain her compliments as it was in the next day. We supposed that her symptom could be regarded as geographical mislocation, because her misidentification could not be explained only by the delirium and/or visual cognitive impairment. As the mechanism of this case, we considered that her geographical mislocation was caused by the dysfunction of frontal and limbic system due to the right caudate infarction.
