Abstract
A 49-year-old right-handed man presented with a severe impairment of motor speech output aphemia. Initially, he could make grunting sounds, but was otherwise mute. There was no disturbance of comprehension, and he preferred to communicate by writing. Writing was agrammatic with lexical errors and mispellings which improved with the speech disturbance. The writing abnormalities of aphemics emphasize the aphasic nature of this speech abnormality.Keywords
