Alexia without Agraphia or Hemianopia

摘要

The case of a right-handed man with pure alexia without hemianopia due to intraparenchymal haematoma is reported. Ct scan and nuclear magnetic resonance showed a lesion in the lateral temporo-occipital area confirming the assumption that the anatomic pathways responsible for reading run close to the lateral temporo-occipital or inferior temporal gyrus.
