J Am Acad Audiol. 1993 Nov;4(6):364-9.

Abstract

This case presentation describes a patient with a strategically placed lesion involving the right insula and adjacent white matter. The most remarkable finding associated with this case is the presence of a unilateral auditory processing disorder when presenting speech materials to the left ear. Intervention for this patient is described in addition to a discussion of possible explanations for the unique pattern of auditory dysfunction.
