Acquired crossed aphasia in a child / Isabel Pavão MARTINS in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 29-1 (February 1987)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 29-1 (February 1987) . - p.96-100 Titre : Acquired crossed aphasia in a child Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Isabel Pavão MARTINS, Auteur ; José-Manuel FERRO, Auteur ; A. TRINDADE, Auteur Année de publication : 1987 Article en page(s) : p.96-100 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A case is reported of acquired aphasia in a 15-year-old right-handed boy, secondary to a right occipitotemporal tumour. He had aphasia, alexia, agraphia and visuospatial disturbances, which persisted after partial removal of the neoplasm. 15 days after surgery he had an episode of left focal seizures, after which the aphasia worsened. One month later he developed severe (global) aphasia associated with rostral extension of the tumour. Although crossed aphasia was previously considered common in children, there are few reports with anatomical confirmation. In the authors' own series of 31 children with acquired aphasia this is the only case of crossed aphasia, an incidence similar to that found in adult cases.
