Late recovery of auditory comprehension in global aphasia. Improved recovery observed with subcortical temporal isthmus lesion vs Wernicke's cortical area lesion.
Archives of Neurology 1990 April
This study examined the relationship between recovery of auditory comprehension in global aphasia patients after 1 year post onset, and temporal lobe lesion in Wernicke's cortical area vs temporal lobe lesion in the subcortical temporal isthmus area. Computed tomographic scans and language behavior were examined in 14 right-handed globally aphasic stroke patients with lesion in the left hemisphere. Nine patients had large cortical/subcortical frontal, parietal, and temporal lobe lesion that included more than half of Wernicke's cortical area (FPT cases). Five patients had large cortical/subcortical frontal and parietal lobe lesion, but only subcortical temporal lobe lesion, including the temporal isthmus (FPTi cases). All patients were tested acutely at 1 to 4 months post onset and again at 1 to 2 years post onset. There was a significantly greater increase in the amount of recovery that had taken place after 1 to 2 years post onset for the FPTi group vs the FPT group in the overall Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination (BDAE) Auditory Comprehension Z score. In four of the five FPTi cases, the late BDAE Auditory Comprehension Z scores were above -0.5 (mild-to-moderate comprehension deficits). Most recovery was in single-word comprehension. In eight of the nine FPT cases, the late BDAE Auditory Comprehension Z-scores were below -0.5 (moderate-to-severe comprehension deficits). There was no significant difference between the two groups in recovery of spontaneous speech, repetition, or naming, where severe deficits remained in most cases.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
