Aphasia Category: classification MOTOR APHASIA - nonfluent afasia less output, bad articulation, dysprosody (melody), agrammatism, auditory understanding relatively intact, ideomotor apraxia contralateral limbs lokalisation repetition disturbed: Broca’s area (g.frontalis inf.) repetition intact: cortex around Broca’s area, suppl. motorcortex (transcortical motor aphasia) SENSORY APHASIA – fluent afasia increased output,­ normal articulation, “empty speech”, disturbed auditory understanding, paraphasias lokalisation repetition disturbed: Wernicke’s area (g.supramarginalis, g.angularis) repetition intact, bad articulatie: g. angularis, g. temporalis sup (transcortical sensory aphasia) GLOBAL APHASIA mixed sensomotor lokalisation: extensive lesion dominant hemisphere CONDUCTION APHASIA output fluent, paraphasias, intact understanding, repetition severely disturbed lokalisation: g.supramarginalis, f.arcuatus SUBCORTICAL APHASIA first: mutism, hypophonia, dysarthria, less output , paraphasias, intermittend repetition disturbance later: good recovery (despite permanent CT abnormalities) lokalisation: n.caudatus, putamen, thalamus Last modified: 2008-05-13 Level: physician Article visits: 574 Home Archive Edit article	NEUROWIKI NEWS Wiki closed for anonymous data entry Welcome to NeuroWiki.com >> Older articles
