[Echolalic repetition and severe comprehension disorders. Left hemisphere deactivation syndrome? (author's transl)].
An aphasic patient presented with suppression of spontaneous speech, correct repetition, and disturbed comprehension and denomination. The association of a lesion on CT scanning affecting the deep regions of the left hemisphere, and extinction of the right ear to dichotic audition, leads to a discussion of the role of the right hemisphere in remaining psycholinguistic capabilities.
