This typical case of alexia without agraphia, caused by an astrocytoma, is the first recorded case in the literature of alexia without agraphia with a right homonymous hemianopia caused by a tumor. This case differs from previously reported cases of the syndrome by its fluctuating clinical course and its slow progression. All but one of previously reported cases had been of vascular or surgical etiology. This course and the associated radiographic findings should differentiate the neoplastic from the vascular etiology of this most fascinating syndrome.
这个由星形细胞瘤引起的典型失读不伴失写病例，是文献中首例有记录的由肿瘤导致的伴有右侧同向性偏盲的失读不伴失写病例。该病例与先前报道的该综合征病例不同，其临床病程波动且进展缓慢。先前报道的病例中，除一例之外，均为血管性或手术性病因。这种病程以及相关的影像学表现应能将这种最引人关注的综合征的肿瘤性病因与血管性病因区分开来。
