    This study examined CT scans of four patients with alexia without agraphia. Lesion location in the dominant hemisphere correlated with reading and visual field deficits.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neuroimaging
    • Vascular Neurology

    Background:

    • Alexia without agraphia is a rare neurological condition characterized by the inability to read while preserving writing ability.
    • Understanding the neuroanatomical correlates of this condition is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • Computed tomography (CT) scans were performed on four patients diagnosed with alexia without agraphia.
    • Clinical findings were correlated with the identified lesions on CT imaging.

    Findings:

    • All identified lesions were vascular in origin, including two spontaneous intracerebral hematomas and two ischemic infarctions.
    • Lesions were consistently located in the posterior aspect of the dominant cerebral hemisphere.
    • The precise location of the lesion correlated with the presence or absence of associated visual field abnormalities.

    Implications:

    • CT imaging can help localize the specific brain regions affected in alexia without agraphia.
    • Findings suggest a strong link between posterior cerebral artery territory lesions and this specific reading disorder.
    • Understanding these correlations aids in refining diagnostic approaches and predicting patient outcomes.
