RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Mirror writing is a rare disorder in which the patient's handwriting is done backwards and a mirror is needed to be able to read it. Although mirror writing presents both spontaneously and pathologically, it is mainly due to cerebrovascular lesions in the dominant hemisphere. CASE REPORT: A right-handed 62-year-old female who, following a left parietal-occipital infarction, evidenced by computerized tomography scanning, developed mirror writing with the left hand associated with mnemonic, gnosic and praxic disorders. The symptoms continued for a year after the episode. CONCLUSIONS: Mirror writing and other associated disorders are a consequence of a dysfunction of the left parietal-occipital lobe and the optic thalamus on the same side.

Introducción. La escritura en espejo es un raro trastorno, en el cual la escritura se realiza en sentido opuesto al normal, y se necesita la ayuda de un espejo para que se pueda leer. Aunque la escritura en espejo se presenta tanto de manera espontánea como patológica, se debe sobre todo a lesiones cerebrovasculares del hemisferio dominante. Caso clínico. Mujer diestra de 62 años que, tras un infarto parietooccipital izquierdo demostrado mediante una tomografía computarizada, desarrolló escritura en espejo con la mano izquierda asociada a trastornos de memoria, gnósicos y práxicos. Los síntomas continuaron durante un año después del episodio. Conclusión. La escritura en espejo y otros trastornos asociados son consecuencia de la disfunción del lóbulo parietooccipital izquierdo y el tálamo óptico del mismo lado (AU)
