  • Title: Prognostic value of computed tomography in aphasic stroke patients.
    Author: Demeurisse G, Capon A, Verhas M.
    Journal: Eur Neurol; 1985; 24(2):134-9. PubMed ID: 2579818.
    Abstract:
    In order to evaluate the prognostic value of CT scan in aphasic stroke patients, a prospective study was performed during the first 3 months of the disease. The severity of the language disorders was assessed by means of a quantitative method. In cortico-subcortical lesions, the verbal expression recovery rate and the final verbal expression and comprehension status depended on the infarct size. No relation was observed between the latter and the verbal comprehension recovery rate. In deep-seated lesions, computed tomography provided no information concerning the prognosis.
