title: [Pharmacotherapy of voice and articulation disorders in aphasia].
abstract: The phonation and articulation disorders in a group of aphasics with aphonia/dysarthrophonia could be considerably reduced by the use of medication. The group consisted of 10 apoplectic patients whose resulting aphasia could not be classified because of the vocal impairment. Extrapyramidal motion disorders were proved by laryngoscopy and stroboscopy. A definite improvement of phonation and articulation was observed after L-dopa medication.
