    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Neurology
    • Cognitive Science

    Background:

    • Bilateral ischemic lesions can lead to complex neurological deficits.
    • Understanding the relationship between brain structure and symbolic function is crucial.

    Observation:

    • A 29-year-old woman presented with bilateral ischemic lesions in the superior temporal and temporo-parietal regions.
    • She experienced significant speech reduction, progressing to muteness, accompanied by cortical deafness and behavioral changes.

    Findings:

    • Symbolic function analysis revealed preserved occipital activities.
    • Connections between the visual system and areas responsible for graphism and manual praxia were partially maintained.

    Implications:

  • This case provides insights into the mechanisms of cortical deafness and secondary muteness.
  • It underscores the localized impact of ischemic lesions on specific cognitive and linguistic functions.
