title: [Crossed aphasia in right handed patients].
abstract: The very rare aphasia following damage to the right cerebral hemisphere in right-handed subjects is described, with a survey of the views on this problem and presentation of two cases of this so-called crossed aphasia in right-handed subjects. On one of these cases the lesion was cortico-subcortical in a part of the frontal lobe, temporal lobe and a part of the occipital lobe, with sparing of the deep structures of the right hemisphere and with clinical pattern resembling that of Broca aphasia. In the second case the lesion involved the subcortical and deep structures with destruction of the lentiform nucleus, anterior part of the internal capsule and part of the head of the caudate nucleus, and the clinical pattern resembled that of Wernicke aphasia.
