Subcortical crossed aphasia: a case report.

S Sapir, E Kokmen, P J Rogers

    The Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders
    |May 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    A stroke in the right brain caused acute aphasia and paralysis. The patient experienced significant language and cognitive deficits but showed rapid recovery with some lasting effects.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Neurology
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Cerebral infarction can lead to diverse neurological deficits.
    • Right hemisphere lesions are less commonly associated with aphasia than left hemisphere lesions.

    Observation:

    • A 74-year-old woman experienced acute aphasia and left hemiplegia due to a right cerebral hemisphere infarction.
    • The lesion involved the deep parietal lobe, posterior internal capsule, and caudate nucleus head.
    • Aphasia symptoms included impaired comprehension, anomia, agraphia, and dyscalculia.

    Findings:

    • The patient demonstrated rapid recovery from acute aphasia.
    • Residual deficits persisted in writing, naming, calculation, and memory functions.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the potential for significant aphasia from right hemisphere lesions.
    • The pattern of recovery suggests specific neural network involvement and plasticity.
    • Understanding lesion location and recovery trajectories is crucial for neurorehabilitation strategies.
