Right hemi-cortical atrophy refers to reduction in volume or degeneration of the right cerebral hemisphere. It may arise from congenital, developmental, vascular, inflammatory, or degenerative causes. Clinically, the right hemisphere governs visuospatial perception, attention, orientation, emotional responsiveness, and integrative cognitive functions. Atrophy in this region produces characteristic neurological and psychological deficits.

Homoeopathically, the remedy Phosphorus holds deep relevance due to its affinity for the nervous system, cerebral degeneration, atrophy states, haemorrhages, and cognitive-emotional disturbances. This article discusses the pathology, clinical picture, and homoeopathic understanding of right-hemispheric atrophy with Phosphorus as the central remedy.
