Ictal agraphia: a patient study.
We present a case of "pure" or "apraxic" agraphia, a recognized writing disturbance, caused by intermittent focal seizures from the left posterior parasagittal parieto-occipital region. Pure agraphia has been described in focal lesions or as part of a generalized confusional syndrome. The posterior cerebral vascular territory is the characteristic site for the transient neurologic syndromes associated with cyclosporine toxicity. Our patient was at risk for this complication while recovering from a lung transplant, with elevated cyclosporine levels.
