Abstract

"Mirror-writing" is stript that runs in the direction opposite to normal with the individual letters also reversal. Several theories, including motor, visual dominance, spatial disorientation and supplementary motor hypotheses, have been proposed to explain "mirror-writng". With reviewing some of literatures, we present two cases of "mirror-writing" in association with bilateral basal ganglia hemorrhage and right frontal hematoma, respectively.
