RESUMEN
We report the first case, to our knowledge, of successful return to work of a patient with alexia without agraphia. This case is also interesting as it is the first report of which we are aware of anosognosia for alexia without agraphia: the patient confabulated when asked to read English text, but immediately stated that he could not read Chinese text because he did not know that language. The selective nature of this confabulation would not be inconsistent with anosognosia being one of the brain's responses to absence of afferent information.
