We reported an 11-year-old girl with left thalamic infarction causing aphasia and dysgraphia. The lesion corresponded to the perfusion area of the tuberothalamic and paramedian arteries. Confrontation naming and word finding were impaired, but phonological cuing was very helpful despite the absence of amnesia. Dysgraphia was observed only in Kanji (morphogram) writing, and was also improved by visual cuings. These findings suggested difficulty in memory retrieval, in which the left thalamus might have some role.
