Clinicopathological correlations in aphasiology by means of computerized axial tomography: interest of using printout and prospective considerations.
This study was undertaken following a first paper describing cerebral clinicopathological correlations in aphasiology using computerized axial tomography. Its originality lies in the fact that we studied the correlations starting from the lesional sites and deducing the aphasiologic diagnosis. Our conclusions are similar but show that a small proportion of the patients do not follow the usual pattern of correlations. In view of future prospective studies, the authors emphasize the importance of information to analyze and compare well-individualized clinical syndromes. We suggest that such clinicopathological correlations could be used in other fields of neuropsychology.
