Subcortical aphasia: a longitudinal PET study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Very few neuroimaging studies have focused on follow-up of subcortical aphasia. Here, overt language production tasks were used to correlate regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) changes and language performance in patients with vascular subcortical lesions. METHODS Seven aphasic patients were scanned twice with positron emission tomography (PET) at 1-year interval during...
متن کاملCrossed aphasia: a PET follow up study of two cases.
Two cases of aphasia after right hemispheric stroke in right handed patients are described. The first patient had a severe mixed transcortical aphasia, apraxia and neglect after a lesion involving the right lenticular nucleus and periventricular white matter; aphasia was still present after three months. The second patient had a mild, transient fluent aphasia after a small right hemispheric per...
متن کاملRapid recovery from crossed aphasia in a dextral.
A case of crossed aphasia in a right-handed woman resulting from a right-hemisphere stroke is reported. Rapid recovery occurred between an initial evaluation performed at one month poststroke and a follow-up evaluation performed at 2 months post. The cerebral organization and the relationship between language and other cognitive abilities in crossed aphasics are discussed. Additionally, the uni...
متن کاملFrom singing to speaking: facilitating recovery from nonfluent aphasia.
It has been reported for more than 100 years that patients with severe nonfluent aphasia are better at singing lyrics than they are at speaking the same words. This observation led to the development of melodic intonation therapy (MIT). However, the efficacy of this therapy has yet to be substantiated in a randomized controlled trial. Furthermore, its underlying neural mechanisms remain unclear...
متن کاملFunctional Recovery From Stroke
Background and Purpose Shorter lengths of hospital stay in stroke units could be due to quicker functional recovery or mechanisms of expediting hospital discharge. Methods Stroke survivors with an intermediate prognosis at 2 weeks after stroke (n=146) were randomized for management in a stroke rehabilitation unit or in general wards. Barthel scores were monitored at weekly intervals until hospi...
