Alexia without agraphia: a classical disconnection syndrome A.K.A. pure agnosic alexia A.K.A. pure word blindness -disruption of the splenium -right homonymous hemianopsia (lesion involving left occipital lobe) characterized by a deficit in word reading, with a relative preservation of letter reading. The patient is usually able to write spontaneously, but not read what has been written. Patients can often identify words spelled aurally. Number reading may be preserved.
