  • Title: [Speech syndrome and its course in patients who have sustained an ischemic stroke (clinico-tomographic study)].

    Abstract:
    Clinical and tomographic examinations of 40 patients with aphasia developed after an ischemic stroke were carried out. In more than half of them no correlation between the aphasia gravity and character on the one hand, and the size and localization of the ischemic focus (or foci) in the brain on the other was noted. With similar character and gravity of the speech disorder the size and localization of the ischemic foci may be different, ad vice versa. It has been shown that the interrelations between the focal pathology of the brain and the character and gravity of speech disorders are very complicated. One should take into consideration the possibility of individual organization of the speech functions, the degree of the speech activity automatism before the disease, and the state of the cerebrovascular system as a whole.
