title: Subcortical aphasia: a specific clinical picture?
abstract: 100 aphasic patients were examined with a scorable aphasia battery looking at the frequency of various aphasia types and the possible specificity of clinical pictures in deep-seated lesions. One month after onset, "atypical" aphasiological syndromes proved to be rare and to have the same frequency in patients with cortico-subcortical or capsulostriatal deep-seated lesions. In the latter condition, no specific clinical syndrome was brought out, although verbal comprehension disorders were usually less severe than in cortico-subcortical lesions.
