    Summary

    This case study details a patient with alexia with agraphia, exhibiting deep dyslexia and Gerstmann's syndrome. Brain imaging pinpointed the infarction location in the left angular and supramarginal gyri.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Neurology
    • Linguistics

    Background:

    • Alexia with agraphia is a rare neurological condition affecting reading and writing.
    • Deep dyslexia, characterized by semantic errors and inability to read non-words, presents unique challenges.

    Observation:

    • A case of pure alexia with agraphia in a Serbo-Croatian speaker was documented.
    • The patient displayed severe reading and writing impairments.
    • Certain features of Gerstmann's syndrome were also noted.

    Findings:

    • Neuroimaging (CT scans) precisely identified the lesion location.
    • The infarction involved the posterior supramarginal gyrus and anterior angular gyrus in the left hemisphere.
    • These specific brain regions are critical for language processing.

    Implications:

    • This case contributes to understanding the neural basis of reading and writing.
    • It highlights the complex interplay between language, cognition, and specific brain structures.
    • Findings may inform future research on stroke recovery and language rehabilitation.
