Alexia, also known as acquired dyslexia, is a neurological condition characterized by the loss of the ability to read, despite having previously acquired the skill. This impairment in reading ability is not due to deficits in vision or intelligence but results from damage to the brain regions involved in language processing and visual recognition of words. Alexia is typically classified into two main types: pure alexia, where individuals can still write and understand spoken language but cannot read, and alexia with agraphia, where both reading and writing abilities are impaired. The primary cause of alexia is damage to the left hemisphere of the brain, particularly the angular gyrus and the occipitotemporal region, which are critical for visual word form processing and linguistic function. This damage can occur due to a stroke, traumatic brain injury, brain tumors, or neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. In pure alexia, the lesion usually affects the posterior part of the brain, disconnecting the visual cortex from language areas, leading to an inability to read while other language functions remain intact. In contrast, alexia with agraphia involves more extensive damage, affecting both reading and writing abilities.
Treatment for alexia focuses on rehabilitating the lost reading skills and compensating for the deficits. Speech and language therapy is the cornerstone of treatment, with interventions tailored to the specific type of alexia. Therapy may involve retraining the brain to recognize letters and words through repetitive reading exercises, using phonological and semantic cues, and developing alternative strategies to bypass the reading deficit. In cases where alexia is due to a treatable condition, such as a tumor or vascular lesion, addressing the underlying cause is crucial. The prognosis for alexia varies depending on the severity and location of the brain damage and the individual's responsiveness to therapy. Early intervention and consistent, targeted rehabilitation can significantly improve reading abilities and overall communication skills.
