ABSTRACT

Clinical exploration of the written language should be part of the general exam of the mental state in patients with aphasia, and with intellectual or memory dysfunctions. The purpose of this article is to show the characterization of the written language alterations, from its acquisition in normal conditions until the different manifestations in the disease, and of the classifications of the written linguistic activity (susceptible of suffering alterations), which is shown in the study of the language. A cerebral lesion can cause an exclusive dysfunction of the written language. Those patients can be useful to know the cerebral organization of the writing and reading processes, since they have not aphasic disorders but they do present loss or alteration of the ability to produce written language, consequence of some type of cerebral damage. The more specific the study of the written language dysfunction is, more difficult is to include the case in a certain clinical form. The abnormal linguistic manifestations that appear in the patients can provoke confusion, not only at a clinical/semiologycal level, but also in the diagnosis, classification and evolutionary view of the written language disorders. In this article we present the semiologycal diversity of agraphia (at least in the most outstanding clinical ways), as well as its rehabilitation.
