• Definition: Mixed Transcortical Aphasia

Mixed transcortical aphasia is the least common of the three transcortical aphasias (behind transcortical motor aphasia and transcortical sensory aphasia, respectively). This type of aphasia can also be referred to as "Isolation Aphasia". This type of aphasia is a result of damage that isolates the language areas (Broca’s, Wernicke’s, and the arcuate fasiculus) from other brain regions. Broca’s, Wernicke’s, and the arcuate fasiculus are left intact; however, they are isolated from other brain regions. A longer definition comes from Wikipedia.

Areas affected in Mixed Transcortical Aphasia

Mixed transcortical aphasia is the least common of the three transcortical aphasias (behind transcortical motor aphasia and transcortical sensory aphasia, respectively). This type of aphasia can also be referred to as "Isolation Aphasia". This type of aphasia is a result of damage that isolates the language areas (Broca’s, Wernicke’s, and the arcuate fasiculus) from other brain regions. Broca’s, Wernicke’s, and the arcuate fasiculus are left intact; however, they are isolated from other brain regions.

A stroke is one of the leading causes of disability in the United States. Following a stroke, 40% of stroke patients are left with moderate functional impairment and 15% to 30% have a severe disability as a result of a stroke. A neurogenic cognitive-communicative disorder is one result of a stroke. Neuro- meaning related to nerves or the nervous system and -genic meaning resulting from or caused by. Aphasia is one type of a neurogenic cognitive-communicative disorder which presents with impaired comprehension and production of speech and language, usually caused by damage in the language-dominant, left hemisphere of the brain. Aphasia is any disorder of language that causes the patient to have the inability to communicate, whether it is through writing, speaking, or sign language.

Mixed Transcortical Aphasia Without Anatomic Isolation of the Speech Area

Steven Z. Rapcsak, MD, Lauren B. Krupp, MD, Alan B. Rubens, MD, and Johannes Reim, MD

"We report two patients with mixed transcortical aphasia following left frontal lobe infarctions. Although there was no evidence of anatomic isolation of the speech area on computed tomograms or magnetic resonance imaging scans, single-photon emission computed tomogra- phy in one case demonstrated diminished blood flow over the left parietal convexity suggestive of "functional isolation" of the posterior perisylvian language zone. (Stroke 1990^1:953-956)

Mixed transcortical aphasia is characterized by reduced or absent spontaneous speech, severely impaired language comprehen- sion, and preserved repetition. Although the localization of lesions producing mixed transcortical aphasia is variable, the syndrome is seen most often with diffuse or multifocal pathologic changes that involve both anterior and posterior left hemisphere cortical association areas but spare the perisylvian language core. According to Goldstein, the critically placed lesions produce an "isolation of the speech area" posteriorly from the "ideational field" of the parietal association cortex and anteriorly from frontal areas important for the production of volitional speech. Since Broca's area, Wemicke's area, and the arcuate fasciculus are usually spared, repetition remains intact.

Acute mixed transcortical aphasia is uncommon. Recently, Bogousslavsky et al described four cases of acute mixed transcortical aphasia in the setting of internal carotid artery occlusion with computed tomographic (CT) evidence of simultaneous anterior precentral-central sulcus artery territory embolic infarction and posterior watershed infarction related to hemodynamic insufficiency. These cases support Goldstein's contention by demonstrating both ante- rior and posterior anatomic isolation of the speech area.

We report two cases of mixed transcortical aphasia in which CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed only frontal left hemisphere infarcts.

Musing: Dorsal Raphe Dopamine Neurons Represent the Experience of Social Isolation

Dean Reinke
Deans' Stroke Musing

Monday, February 29, 2016

Ask your doctor if damage to this area is causing your social isolation. S/he should know at least that much. What is their stroke protocol to fix that problem? Dorsal Raphe Dopamine Neurons Represent the Experience of Social Isolation.
