Abstract Certain patients with a lesion of the corpus callosum have been reported as exhibiting unusual writing difficulties with their non-dominant hand. This deficit has been termed unilateral agraphia and classically interpreted as a disconnection between left-hemisphere language centres and right-hemisphere motor areas. The present study was designed to investigate the writing abilities of both hands of a corpus callosum-lesioned patient with an atypical pattern of handedness (mostly left-handed but right-handed for writing) who showed sequelae of a left unilateral dysgraphia. For this purpose the patient was asked to produce 416 words in oral spelling, right-handed and left-handed writing with or without visual feedback. The results show that in all modalities the patient produces some phonologically plausible errors most likely related to pre-morbid spelling difficulties; however, in the left-handed writing modalities (particularly without vision), he makes a considerable number of non-phonologicall...
