Dysgraphesthesia

Dysgraphesthesia is the inability to recognize symbols drawn on parts of the body. Often referred to as a neurological “soft sign,” dysgraphesthesia is more common in children with learning disabilities or behavior disorders, although a direct causal relationship has not been found. Dysgraphesthesia has also been associated with cortical motor deficit, parietal lobe dysfunction, peripheral neuropathy, vascular lesions, temporal lobe dysfunction, and inattention or confusion. There is no information available regarding prevalence or incidence.
