Alexia with left homonymous hemianopia without agraphia

A case report with autopsy findings

Departments of Neurology and Pathology, The University of Iowa College of Medicine, Iowa City.

Unusual findings at autopsy prompted this case report of a patient with the syndrome of alexia without agraphia. The expected disconnection of the left angular gyrus from both visual cortices was not found at postmortem examination. Multiple cerebral metastases were identified, but none were present in the presumed pathways connecting the left occipital lobe and the left angular gyrus.

Received for publication May 13, 1975.
