Regional cerebral blood flow correlates of aphasia outcome in cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction. 1986

K Nagata, and K Yunoki, and S Kabe, and A Suzuki, and G Araki

The relationship between recovery from aphasia and regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) was compared in 87 patients, 44 with cerebral hemorrhage and 43 with non-embolic cerebral infarction. CBF values correlated poorly with aphasia outcome in patients with cerebral hemorrhage whereas a tight correlation was demonstrated in patients with non-embolic cerebral infarction. A marked variability of CBF values in the acute and subacute stage might account for the poor correlation between CBF and aphasia outcome in patients with cerebral hemorrhage. On the other hand, a sharp discrimination was achieved between those with a good recovery from aphasia and those with a poor recovery by the dimensions of the hematoma on CT. In non-embolic cerebral infarction, a relative frontal ischemia was associated with motor aphasia while a relative temporal ischemia was associated with sensory aphasia. This dichotomy was not demonstrated in the regional CBF values in patients with cerebral hemorrhage.

D002544	Cerebral Infarction	The formation of an area of NECROSIS in the CEREBRUM caused by an insufficiency of arterial or venous blood flow. Infarcts of the cerebrum are generally classified by hemisphere (i.e., left vs. right), lobe (e.g., frontal lobe infarction), arterial distribution (e.g., INFARCTION, ANTERIOR CEREBRAL ARTERY), and etiology (e.g., embolic infarction).

D000328	Adult	A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available.	Adults
D000368	Aged	A person 65 years of age or older. For a person older than 79 years, AGED, 80 AND OVER is available.	Elderly
D000849	Anomia	A language dysfunction characterized by the inability to name people and objects that are correctly perceived. The individual is able to describe the object in question, but cannot provide the name. This condition is associated with lesions of the dominant hemisphere involving the language areas, in particular the TEMPORAL LOBE.

D001037	Aphasia	A cognitive disorder marked by an impaired ability to comprehend or express language in its written or spoken form. This condition is caused by diseases which affect the language areas of the dominant hemisphere. Clinical features are used to classify the various subtypes of this condition. General categories include receptive, expressive, and mixed forms of aphasia.
