I examined a 61-year old right handed man who presented with a pure word 
deafness associated with unilateral infarctions of the dominent 
hemisphere.
He has no sign of aphasia and no sign of auditory deficit for 
environmental sound or music.
CT examinations showed that the lesion was located on left 
temporoparietal area, but Wernicke's area was preserved.
He has a heart problem-Sick sinus syndrome.

Do you have any information or reference for this disease?
