[Differential diagnosis between Mesulam's aphasia and aphasia secondary to ischemic disorder by brain perfusion SPECT].
Two cases with aphasic dysfunction with similar clinical features and structural neuroimaging studies results are presented. In these cases, brain perfusion SPECT was the most useful complementary study in the differential diagnosis of two pathologies with different etiologies: primary progressive aphasia or Mesulam's aphasia and aphasia secondary to a stroke.
