A rare case of aphasia and right hemiparesis was linked to a small ischemic thalamic infarct. This finding supports that subcortical brain lesions can impact language abilities.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neuroscience
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Aphasia and hemiparesis are typically associated with cortical lesions.
  • The role of subcortical structures, like the thalamus, in language processing is not fully understood.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with aphasia and right hemiparesis.
  • Autopsy confirmed a 1x2 cm ischemic infarct limited to the thalamus.

Findings:

  • This is the sole pathologically verified case of thalamic infarct-induced aphasia.
  • The findings support thalamus involvement in language processing.

Implications:

  • Subcortical lesions, specifically in the thalamus, can cause aphasia.
  • Revises understanding of the neural basis of language.
