Abstract
• Dyslexia and dysgraphia of various kinds are recognized sequelae of cerebral lesions. Although refusal to read or write may occur in a number of psychiatric disorders, to our knowledge dyslexia and dysgraphia as the sole manifestations of a psychogenic disorder have not previously been reported. Our patient had psychogenic symptoms, initially including seizures but subsequently consisting solely of dyslexia and dysgraphia.
