A 76-year-old right-handed woman exhibited difficulty in Kana and Kanji writing. She was even unable to write her name on admission. Her neuropsychological examinations revealed finger agnosia, right-left disorientation, acalculia, agraphia, mild idiomotor apraxia, constructional impairment. She showed no aphasia and alexia. MRI disclosed subcortical hematoma in left parietal lobe including the angular gyrus. SPECT displayed widespread hypoperfusion area over the left parietal lobe. On the day 15, she could not write both Kanji and Kana letters but was found to write Arabic numerals. On the day 22, her writing ability improved to write most of Kana but difficulty in Kanji writing remained. These findings suggest that neural mechanisms of writing both Arabic numerals and Kanji letters are close but different process.}, pages = {35--39}, title = {漢字・かなの失書を呈したが、数字書字障害が軽度であった一例}, volume = {14}, year = {2004} }
