We present a case of "pure" or "apraxic" agraphia, a recognized writing disturbance, caused by intermittent focal seizures from the left posterior parasagittal parieto-occipital region. Pure agraphia has been described in focal lesions or as part of a generalized confusional syndrome. The posterior cerebral vascular territory is the characteristic site

Two new cases of alexia without agraphia are presented. Pertinent clinical findings, anatomy, pathophysiology and differential diagnoses are reviewed. The importance of carefully examining the inferior portion of the left side of the splenium of the corpus callosum on CT and/or MR scans in patients who present with this clinical syndrome is stressed.

Double dissociation between conduction aphasia and conduction agraphia supports a ventro-dorsal partition of the left arcuate fasciculus. [PDF]
Abstract We identified in two awake surgery cases a postoperative double dissociation between phonological and graphemic output buffer deficits. Using lesion‐symptom mapping from ischaemic mini‐strokes and preoperative tractography, we demonstrated that the phonological (resp. graphemic) disorder fitted with ventral (resp.
