Pure phonemic agnosia and receptive amusia after stroke
Keywords:
phonemic agnosia, stroke, bilateral temporal lesionsAbstract
We present a rare clinical case of an acquired phonemic agnosia and receptive amusia, without aphasia, with preserved auditory functions and without other gnosis disturbances, as a result of bilateral ischemic stroke in the temporal lobes.
Phonemic agnosia (spoken auditory agnosia or pure verbal deafness) in isolated form is too rare and is usually combined with receptive amusia.
