交叉性失語症：二病例報告

Abstract

Crossed aphasia is defined as aphasia due to right hemisphere lesion in dextrals. It is a rare syndrome. It was reported first time in 1899, then it elicited much discussion and studies. Nowadays the pathophysiology of crossed aphasia is still unclear. According to the site of lesion and the characteristics of language, crossed aphasia can be divided into two types. Type I is ”mirror – image”, the features are similar to the left hemisphere lesions. Type II is ”anomalous”, the language features are different from the typical left hemisphere aphasia. The studies of this syndrome are very rare in our country. We hope that through this casereport, we can improve our knowledge about the crossed aphasia.We collected two stroke patients (both cases were right middle cerebral artery infarction) those had been admitted to our hospital. Both patients are right-handed and have no family history of left-handed. Left hemiplegia due to right hemisphere lesion and different extents of aphasia were noted. Patients had different prognosis after receiving speech rehabilitation. In this article, we report the clinical finding and prognosis of these two patients, and review literatures about this syndrome.
