Denial of Eye Closure in Acute Stroke
Stroke 25:1958-1962, Ellis,S.J.&Small,M., 1994
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Denial of eye closure occurs in a minority of patients with denial of illness after acute stroke.This phenomenon sheds light on denial as a whole and cannot easily be accounted for by unilateral explanations,such as inattention to one half of the body or loss of sensory input.There are aspects of denial,such as denial of eye closure,mislocalization,and the delusional intensity of beliefs,that can only be understood in cognitive terms.
