We report on LA, a patient who was affected by a left-hemisphere ischemic stroke, probably because of SARS-CoV-2. The patient showed a highly specific neuropsychological profile characterized by severe agraphia and some signs of conduction aphasia. Therefore, in the present study, we aimed to investigate, more in depth, the specific and focal neuropsychological consequences of SARS-CoV-2, in a patient affected by lefthemisphere stroke. LA had a largely intact neuropsychological profile, except for the presence of severe agraphia and some signs of conduction aphasia. We suggest that patients affected by SARS-CoV-2 and stroke might not only show diffuse neurocognitive and neurobehavioural signs (e.g. confusion, agitation, psychosis), but they can also present with highly focal neuropsychological disorders, such as agraphia and conduction aphasia.	./cache/cord-287819-qzg4bhoy.txt	./txt/cord-287819-qzg4bhoy.txt
