Abstract
Although language disorders associated with the left supplementary motor area are well-known, a clear mechanism of this pathology is still not fully understood. In this study, we report the case of a right-handed patient who underwent resection of oligodendroglioma located in the right superior frontal gyrus. In the immediate postoperative period, he exhibited transient severe left hemiparesis together with complete aphasia, which both gradually improved after the 3rd postoperative day. Postoperative magnetic resonance imaging ruled out any vascular or other complications in the contralateral site related to speech disorders. After 3 months, the patient had almost fully recovered. To the best of their knowledge, the authors provide the first description of complete transient crossed aphasia associated with resection of the right supplementary motor area.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Neurolinguistics is an international forum for the integration of the neurosciences and language sciences. JNL provides for rapid publication of novel, peer-reviewed research into the interaction between language, communication and brain processes. The focus is on rigorous studies of an empirical or theoretical nature and which make an original contribution to our knowledge about the involvement of the nervous system in communication and its breakdowns. Contributions from neurology, communication disorders, linguistics, neuropsychology and cognitive science in general are welcome. Published articles will typically address issues relating some aspect of language or speech function to its neurological substrates with clear theoretical import. Interdisciplinary work on any aspect of the biological foundations of language and its disorders resulting from brain damage is encouraged. Studies of normal subjects, with clear reference to brain functions, are appropriate. Group-studies on well defined samples and case studies with well documented lesion or nervous system dysfunction are acceptable. The journal is open to empirical reports and review articles. Special issues on aspects of the relation between language and the structure and function of the nervous system are also welcome.
