[Mirror reading and writing].
The case of a left handed patient, a woman 59 years old, who some days after the onset of a right hemiplegia with slight motoric and sensoric aphasic disorders, presented reverse (en miroir) reading and writing is described. Difficulties in the recognition of the right and left side could be revealed during the examination. No hemianopia was noted but an "unwillingness" to turn the eyes to the right side, without paresis, was noted. This could be, in relation with the disorder of the orientation in the space and the reanimation of primitive phasic functions, the basic mechanism that explains the above described symptom of reverse reading and writing.
