[Features of aphasic disorders in patients with acute cerebrovascular disorder in the posterior cerebral artery basin].

Aphasia is a systemic disorder of formed speech that develops as a result of local brain lesions. Most aphasias are characterized by damage to secondary cortical fields, which in turn are responsible for the performance of the functions of gnosis and praxis, which explains the variability in the manifestations of speech disorders in patients with acute cerebrovascular accidents. However, it is necessary in each case to diagnose the central pathological mechanism, which underlies the development of the entire syndrome and determines the entire clinical picture. The most important task of a speech therapist-aphasiologist is to qualify the defect, namely to isolate the mechanism and analyze the syndrome in order to select individual methods of corrective restoration. This article presents a case of a patient with an ischemic stroke in the left posterior cerebral artery with the development of amnestic aphasia in combination with alexia without agraphia.
