  • Title: [Alexia without agraphia in the Arabic language. Neurolinguistic and and MRI study].
    Author: el Alaoui-Faris M, Benbelaid F, Alaoui C, Tahiri L, Jiddane M, Amarti A, Chkili T.
    Journal: Rev Neurol (Paris); 1994 Nov; 150(11):771-5. PubMed ID: 7597370.
    Abstract:
    A 33 year-old woman developed an alexia without agraphia, a color anomia, a right hemianopia, an aphasic amnesia and a verbal amnesia. The brain MRI showed the lesions in the left splenium of corpus callosum, forceps major, optic radiations and anterieur temporal lobe. The fact that she measured writing comprehension and had complete recovery of reading impairment despite the persistence of anatomic lesions plead in favour of an active participation of the right hemisphere (RH) on reading; this capacity of the RH may be due to the linguistic particularities of arabic writing.
