  • Title: Acquired dyslexia.
    Author: Coslett HB.
    Journal: Semin Neurol; 2000; 20(4):419-26. PubMed ID: 11149697.
    Abstract:
    Disorders of reading are frequently encountered in patients with acquired cerebral lesions. Investigations in the past few decades have improved our understanding of these disorders. In this article we review the peripheral dyslexias, including neglect dyslexia, attentional dyslexia, and pure alexia (or alexia without agraphia), as well as the "central" dyslexias, including deep, surface, and phonological dyslexia. Current accounts of acquired dyslexia are also discussed. Finally, we briefly describe the reading tasks that serve to differentiate the different reading disorders.
