[Localization of aphasic symptoms: preliminary observations with C.T. scanner (author's transl)]. 1979

A Basso, and U Salvolini, and L A Vignolo

Twenty patients with aphasia and left-hemisphere damage were examined with a standard language battery, and Computerized Axial Tomography. Patients were divided into fluent (N = 9) and nonfluent (N = 6) on the basis of the language examination; 5 patients who could not be classified in either category were excluded. Lesions were retrorolandic in 8 out of 9 fluent aphasics while extending anteriorly in all 6 nonfluent aphasics. Some unexpected lesions were also found. Five cases -- 3 fluent and 2 nonfluent -- are discussed in detail.

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.

D001039	Aphasia, Broca	An aphasia characterized by impairment of expressive LANGUAGE (speech, writing, signs) and relative preservation of receptive language abilities (i.e., comprehension). This condition is caused by lesions of the motor association cortex in the FRONTAL LOBE (BROCA AREA and adjacent cortical and white matter regions).

D001041	Aphasia, Wernicke	Impairment in the comprehension of speech and meaning of words, both spoken and written, and of the meanings conveyed by their grammatical relationships in sentences. It is caused by lesions that primarily affect Wernicke's area, which lies in the posterior perisylvian region of the temporal lobe of the dominant hemisphere.
