title: Crossed aphasia in a dextral.
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.
