Anosognosia

Literally, the term from Greek means "not recognizing" one's own neurological disease – for example, hemiplegia or deafness. Instead, patients confabulate (invent) reasons for the disorder or deny the disease altogether. Anosognosia usually occurs after damage to the right hemisphere in the fronto-parietal and insular areas and usually resolves after a few months.
