Abstract:
We examined 33 patients with left intracerebral haemorrhage to investigate the relations to buccofacial apraxia (BFA). BFA was present in 18 cases at 1 month and disappeared in 3 cases and persisted in 15 cases at 6 month from the onset. The existence of BFA seems to be partially dependent the haematoma volume which may cause the organic damage in lenticulate nucleus, insula, posterior limb or internal capsule and anterior portion of paraventricle white matter. All patients with BFA had aphasia (Broca 6, Wernicke 1, Total 10, Amnestic 1). Aphasia of the patients with transient BFA improved as well as the patients without BFA after BFA disappeared. We suspected that improvement or aphasia might be affected by BFA.
