AGRAFİSİZ ALEKSİ: GENÇ İNME HASTASINDA NADİR BİR PREZENTASYON

Giriş: Agrafisiz Aleksi, yazı yeteneğinin korunmasına rağmen okumanın bozulması ile karakterize nadir görülen bir klinik bozukluktur. İki hemisferin parieto-oksipital bölgelerini birbirine bağlayan korpus kallozum liflerinin hasar görmesi bu sendromdan sorumludur. Bu hastalar metinleri okuyamasa da yazabilirler. Olgu: Bu yazıda, sol orta serebral arter enfarktüsü nedeniyle takip edilen ve agrafisi olmayan aleksi gelişmiş genç bir beyaz kadın hasta sunuldu. Sonuç: Agrafisiz Aleksi, sağ oksipital lob ile sol parietal lob arasındaki iletişimdeki bozulmaya neden olabilecek, sol oksipital lob veya korpus kallozum splenium lezyonlarına bağlı gelişebilir. Genellikle posterior serebral arterin vasküler sulama bölgelerinde infarkt sonucu ortaya çıkar.

ALEXIA WITHOUT AGRAPHIA: A RARE PRESENTATION IN YOUNG PATIENT WITH STROKE

Introduction: Alexia without agraphia is a rare clinical disorder which is characterized by impairment of reading in spite of protection of writing ability. Damage to the corpus callosum fibers connecting the parieto-occipital regions of the two hemispheres is responsible for this syndrome. These patients can not read texts, although they can write. Case: Here in, a young white-woman who followed-up due to left middle cerebral artery infarction and developed alexia without agraphia was reported. Conclusion: Alexia without agraphia may develop due to left occipital lobeor corpus callosum splenium lesions which may lead to impaired communication between right occipital lobe and left parietal lobe. It usually results from infarction within the vascular territory of the posterior cerebral artery.
