title: [Crossed anarthria and a dissociated lateralisation of language].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Crossed anarthria cases are uncommon and rather old.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report the case of a right-handed 55-year-old man who presented crossed pure anarthria due to a hemorrhage in the premotor cortex (feet of F1 and F2) and in the high part of Pierre-Marie's quadrangle.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The study of different tasks (articulation, verbal fluency, direct object word-generation from a verb) showed a dissociated lateralisation of his language. Lexico-semantic and grammatical tasks are processed in the left hemisphere. Articulation programming occurs in the right hemisphere.
