Abstract

A patient with alexia without agraphia (pure alexia) is reported. Bedside examination of the visual fields disclosed no abnormalities; but perimetric examination demonstrated an incomplete right homonymous hemianopsia with some sparing of the peripheral part of the visual field. The literature on pure alexia without hemianopsia is reviewed and it is concluded that this syndrome has hardly been described with certainity.
