Preserved stenography reading in a patient with pure alexia. A model for dissociated reading processes
M. Regard, T. Landis and K. Hess
A proficient stenographer who had had cerebral metastases suffered from
pure alexia for normal print but could still read stenography with ease. It
is suggested that especially the visuospatial properties of stenography
made possible "alternative" reading, most likely via the right hemisphere.
