Abstract:
We report a case of crossed aphasia following a vascular insult of the right hemisphere in a middle aged dextral man with subsequent evolution to pure word deafness. Development of pure word deafness during recovery from crossed Wernickes aphasia is an extremely rare clinical entity. Probably this is the first Indian report of this entity.
