Abstract |
A 68 year-old woman was suffered from pure agraphia due to left parietal infarction. In the present case, voluntary writing was normal, although repetition, naming by writing were severely disabled. Moreover, agraphia about kan-ji letters was more severe than that about kana letters. It was suggested that, in the present case, the unification process of each sensory input into graphic output was disturbed. |
