Abstract

MFL, 51 years old, female, right-handed, diabetic and previous stroke. Non alcoholic, and report of malnutrition. On neurological examination, he presented tactile anomy, visual agnosia, bucovisual apraxia, left hand agraphia, normal graphia right hand with Alexia, and bilateral crossed optical ataxia. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed extensive lesion with a swollen aspect in commissural fibers of the corpus callosum, notably in the right body and splenium, and corona radiata with hypersignal in T2 / FLAIR, suggesting demyelinating noninflammatory lesion or subacute vascular lesion.
