MedlinePlus: Aphasia is a disorder caused by damage to the parts of the brain that control language. it can make it hard for you to read, write and say what you mean to say. it is most common in adults who have had a stroke. brain tumors, infections, injuries and dementia can also cause it. the type of problem you have and how bad it is depends on which part of your brain is damaged and how much damage there is.
there are four main types:
expressive aphasia - you know what you want to say, but you have trouble saying or writing what you mean
receptive aphasia - you hear the voice or see the print, but you can't make sense of the words
anomic aphasia - you have trouble using the correct word for objects, places or events
global aphasia - you can't speak, understand speech, read or write
some people recover from aphasia without treatment. most, however, need language therapy as soon as possible.

MalaCards: Aphasia is related to primary progressive aphasia and logopenic progressive aphasia. An important gene associated with Aphasia is L1CAM (L1 cell adhesion molecule), and among its related pathways are Alzheimers Disease Pathway and Neuroscience. The compounds thioflavin and tmao have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include brain, and related mouse phenotypes are nervous system and no phenotypic analysis. Disease Ontology: A language disorder that involves an acquired impairment of any laguage modality such as producting or comprehending spoken or written language.6 NINDS: Aphasia is a neurological disorder caused by damage to the portions of the brain that are responsible for language. Primary signs of the disorder include difficulty in expressing oneself when speaking, trouble understanding speech, and difficulty with reading and writing. Aphasia is not a disease, but a symptom of brain damage. Most commonly seen in adults who have suffered a stroke, aphasia can also result from a brain tumor, infection, head injury, or dementia that damages the brain. It is estimated that about 1 million people in the United States today suffer from aphasia. The type and severity of language dysfunction depends on the precise location and extent of the damaged brain tissue.31 Wikipedia: Aphasia (pron.: /əˈfeɪʒə/ or /əˈfeɪziə/ or /eɪˈfeɪziə/, from ancient Greek ἀφασία...44 more... |
