Rapid recovery from crossed aphasia in a dextral.
A case of crossed aphasia in a right-handed woman resulting from a right-hemisphere stroke is reported. Rapid recovery occurred between an initial evaluation performed at one month poststroke and a follow-up evaluation performed at 2 months post. The cerebral organization and the relationship between language and other cognitive abilities in crossed aphasics are discussed. Additionally, the unitary and transient models of crossed aphasia are examined.
