Recognizing pure anomic aphasia in this group is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of localization and brain functions. Case report: We present the case of an 11-year-old girl with transient ischemic attack and anomic aphasia. Neuroimaging identified abnormalities in the cingulate gyrus and temporo-occipital regions. No focal neurological findings were observed without aphasia. In terms of etiology, an MTHFR mutation was detected, and aside from this, no hematological or systemic cause could be identified. Conclusion: This case marks the first demonstration of posterior cingulate gyrus involvement in pure anomic aphasia. © 2023 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAnomic aphasia; perfusion; posterior cingulate gyrus; transient ischemic attackArticle10.1080/00207454.2023.22952262-s2.0-8518088031138095174Q2
