In order to find out how frequent prosopagnosia is in males in comparison to females, all cases hitherto published have been reviewed and a remarkably greater frequency in males has been pointed out. Since the etiology has resulted to be in the majority of cases vascular, the epidemiology of vascular diseases as possible factor of this different incidence is discussed. It is concluded that the greater frequency observed in males seem to be a real fact inherent to prosopagnosia, and not related to other factors.
