Abstract

Apraxic agraphia follows disruption of skilled movement plans of writing and is characterized by distorted, hesitant, incomplete, and imprecise letter formation. The causative lesion is located in the superior parietal lobe (storage of graphomotor plans) or the dorsolateral and medial part of prefrontal cortex (conversion of graphomotor plans to motor commands).1 Recently, the condition was also reported after left dorsomedial thalamic infarction with reduced oxygen metabolism in left premotor areas.
