Pure alexia is a selective impairment of reading in the absence of other language deficits and occurs as a consequence of brain injury in previously literate individuals. The syndrome has intrigued researchers for well over a century and is the most studied of the acquired reading disorders. Pure alexia has been extensively investigated over the last 40 years within the framework of cognitive neuropsychology, but the syndrome, as a clinical entity, much predates the inferential methodology of cognitive neuropsychology. It is based on empirical generalizations by clinicians of a counterintuitive and relatively infrequent but, nonetheless, consistently observed set of behaviours in patients. However, different sets of critical features have been proposed to define the disorder. This is indicated by the range of names with similar but not identical referents with which the syndrome has been labelled over the last 120 years, eg, alexia without agraphia, agnosic alexia, word form dyslexia, verbal alexia, global alexia, word blindness, letter-byletter (LBL) reading, letter-by-letter dyslexia, and spelling dyslexia.
