title: Language dysfunction in cerebrovascular disease.
abstract: Language disorder is often mistaken for confusion, psychosis, or memory loss, and thorough evaluation may require much time. A simple beside examination can often separate aphasic syndromes, and the anatomic location of the lesion can be inferred. Speech therapy, although not entirely satisfactory, is helpful in most patients.
