Crossed aphasia in a dextral

Clin Neurol Neurosurg. 1989;91(2):153-6. doi: 10.1016/s0303-8467(89)80037-x.

Abstract

A case of crossed aphasia in a monolingual dextral with detailed clinical, neuropsychological and language assessment is described. The presence of Gerstmann-syndrome suggested cross-over of even dominant parietal lobe functions. Lateralization and localization of various language functions in relation to crossed aphasia are discussed.
