Case report - Crossed Aphasia
A case study of crossed aphasia is presented. A 60-year-
old right-handed individual suffered stroke in the right
hemisphere leaving him with Broca’s aphasia and severe
verbal apraxia. A CT scan 3 days after hospitalization
showed a new frontotemporal infarct in the right
hemisphere, insula and frontal portion of the superior and
middle temporal gyrus. MRI 2 weeks later showed more
diverse changes involving the parietal lobe. In addition to
the Broca’s aphasia and verbal apraxia AA had prosodic
difficulties involving intonation, stress and conversational
vocal variations. Interesting phonological problems were
also present, such as total loss of so-called preaspiration,
a characteristic of the lcelandic phonological system. In
70% of crossed aphasia cases the symptoms are similar to
those of aphasia in the left hemisphere but AA clearly does
not fall into that group.
