Navigating Dyslexia Diagnosis in Primary Progressive Aphasia within Transparent Languages: A Study in a Spanish‐Speaking Community
This research provides valuable insights into the presence and types of dyslexia shown by Spanish-speaking PPA patients and emphasizes the importance of studying reading, as it has been observed to be affected in 94% of our sample. Our findings underscore the need to employ tasks such as FWRead and VLDPsh to assess lexical reading mechanisms in Spanish-speaking contexts. Moreover, the identification of hypometabolism in brain regions contributes additional insights into the metabolic deficits observed in PPA patients and is consistent with reported data about regions linked to reading.
