Crossed Wernicke's aphasia.

E W Sweet, W Panis, D N Levine

    Neurology
    |April 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study reports a rare case of crossed dextral aphasia in a right-handed man, where language functions were fully lateralized to the right hemisphere. The findings suggest consistent intrahemispheric language organization regardless of hemisphere, even in atypical cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Neurology
    • Linguistics

    Background:

    • Crossed aphasia, where language is processed in the hemisphere typically not dominant for language, is a rare phenomenon.
    • Understanding the neural basis of language lateralization is crucial for diagnosing and treating aphasia.

    Observation:

    • A right-handed man developed severe Wernicke's aphasia following a stroke affecting his right hemisphere's posterior temporoparietal region.
    • The aphasia persisted with minimal improvement until the patient's death 54 days later.

    Findings:

    • This case highlights two novel aspects of crossed dextral aphasia.
    • Language skills can be fully lateralized to the right hemisphere in right-handed individuals.
    • The intrahemispheric organization of language in the right hemisphere of crossed dextral patients mirrors that of the left hemisphere in typical individuals, suggesting conserved organizational principles.

    Implications:

    • This case expands our understanding of brain lateralization for language and its variability.
    • It suggests that the underlying neural architecture for language processing may be more adaptable than previously thought.
    • Further research into crossed aphasia can refine models of hemispheric specialization and language representation in the brain.
