A case of agraphia due to cerebral infarction in the left parietal lobe was reported. A 63-year-old right-handed man was admitted to our hospital with writing disturbance. His spontaneous speech was fluent, and object naming, word fluency, repetition, verbal comprehension, and reading were fully
The present study describes a Japanese patient with pure agraphia displaying differential disturbances in processing Kanji (morphogram) and Kana (syllabogram) letters after an infarction in the middle and superior portions of the left precentral gyrus. Kana errors reflected the patient's difficulty
There have been several reports on alexia with agraphia due to hemorrhage or trauma in the inferior posterior region of the left temporal lobe since Yamadori (1982) first reported a case of cerebral hemorrhage. We presented the first case of alexia with agraphia due to a circumscribed infarct in the
Four cases of alexia without agraphia were studied by 99m-technetium pertechnetate brain scan. Two types of increased uptake were seen. One was of the triangular type near the midline in the posterior view, said to characterize an infarction in the distribution area of the posterior cerebral artery.
BACKGROUND
Phonological agraphia refers to a condition in which the ability to write nonwords to dictation is impaired, while writing words to dictation is preserved, as is oral repetition of the words and nonwords. This condition has been regarded as reflecting a disconnection within the
A left-handed Japanese man is reported who presented right-hand agraphia and tactile anomia following callosal infarction. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an ischemic lesion extending from the posterior half of the trunk to the splenium of the corpus callosum. In his right handwriting, the
We reported an 11-year-old girl with left thalamic infarction causing aphasia and dysgraphia. The lesion corresponded to the perfusion area of the tuberothalamic and paramedian arteries. Confrontation naming and word finding were impaired, but phonological cuing was very helpful despite the absence
The angular gyrus has been proposed as the key area of reading and writing function. In recent PET (positron emission topography) activation studies, role of angular gyrus in the reading and writing has been reestimated. Whether the angular gyrus is necessary for reading and writing or not is now
We report a 52-year-old right-handed man with cerebral infarction of the right anterior cerebral artery area. The MRI findings showed cerebral infarction in the trunk of the right corpus callosum, although some part of the posterior half of the trunk was spared. Some part of right precuneal gyrus,
Following a unique infarction, restricted to the left anterior insula and the adjacent part of the intrasylvian frontal opercular cortex, an 83-year-old right-handed patient acutely developed a severe speech disorder that evolved into mere mutism within a few hours. After rapid recovery from mutism,
The authors report a patient of pure apraxic agraphia with normal praxis due to left thalamic infarction. 15O-gas-PET showed reduced oxygen metabolism in the left thalamus and the left dorsolateral premotor area, while MRI and 11C-fulumazenil-PET showed no remarkable lesions in the frontal cortex.
We reported a case of a 63-year-old right handed man with pure agraphia due to the left parietal lobe infarction. The characteristics of agraphia in the patient were as follows. 1) The written letters were generally recognizable and well formed. 2) He succeeded in pointing to single Kana letter
Korean written language is composed of ideogram (Hanja) and phonogram (Hangul), as Japanese consists of Kanji (ideogram) and Kana (phonogram). Dissociation between ideogram and phonogram impairment after brain injury has been reported in Japanese, but few in Korean. We report a 64-yr-old
The Japanese writing system employs two distinct categories of characters: Kana and Kanji. The difference between Kana and Kanji writing corresponds roughly to that between phonological and lexical systems in Western languages. When typing, most Japanese use alphabetical characters based purely on
BACKGROUND
Alexia with agraphia usually represents damage in angular gyrus. We report an unusual case of alexia with agraphia caused by a posterior inferior temporal lesion.
METHODS
A 82-year-old, right-handed man was admitted because of reading disorder. Visual acuity was 0.7 OD and 0.7 OS.
