title: Language production and comprehension in an adult with ACoA syndrome.
abstract: This study explored the prediction that cases with anterior communicating artery (ACoA) syndrome will exhibit deficits in higher-level language production and comprehension. A 65-year-old adult male with a history of ACoA syndrome was tested on higher-level linguistic tasks. The patient's performance on discourse comprehension. discourse production, and linguistic ambiguity comprehension tasks was impaired.
