Disease relevance of Agraphia

We report the case of a left-handed man (MCR), who presented with a peripheral agraphia as an early sign of multiple sclerosis [1].
We report a patient with right homonymous hemianopsia and alexia without agraphia as his initial manifestations of relapsing-remitting MS [2].
Alexia without agraphia following cerebral venous thrombosis associated with protein C and protein S deficiency [3].

Psychiatry related information on Agraphia

The syndrome of alexia without agraphia occurs rarely in multiple sclerosis (MS) [2].

High impact information on Agraphia

Some patients (even in the more affected DAT group) were unimpaired on both tasks, suggesting that dysgraphia is not a constant feature in early DAT [4].
In this study we describe an investigation into the residual spelling skills of a patient (BRK) with a deep dysgraphia [5].
RESULTS: Of the various indices of dysgraphia examined, only a global rating of writing quality and evidence of jagged or angled letter loops were informative clinical signs [6].
Agraphia does not seem to help in the subtyping of Alzheimer disease [7].
Childhood dysgraphia. Part 2. A study of hand function [8].
