- Aphasia is damage to the language area from a stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI) or tumor. Aphasia can affect all forms of. communication, including speaking, understanding, reading and writing. Not all language areas may be affected the same way. For example, one. person with aphasia may find it easier to read than talk, while another may. find it easier to write than read. Aphasia can be temporary or permanent. Types of Aphasia. The two main types of aphasia are non-fluent aphasia and fluent aphasia. Non-Fluent Aphasia. The most common problem of non-fluent aphasia is word choice. A person. with non-fluent aphasia may sound hesitant while searching for the right. word to say.

Disorders of Speech & Language Broca’s (expressive or motor) Aphasia. Damage to a discrete part of a the brain in the left frontal lobe (Broca’s area) of the language-dominant hemisphere has been shown to significantly affect use of spontaneous speech and motor speech control.Words may be uttered very slowly and poorly articulated.rimary Progressive Aphasia (PPA). PPA is caused by degeneration in the parts of the brain that control speech and language (the left, or “dominant,” side of the brain in the frontal, temporal and parietal regions that normally control language function).

Brocaâs aphasia Transcortical sensory aphasia. This type of aphasia is caused by involvement of the angular gyrus and the posterior sector of the middle temporal gyrus. Wernicke’s area and the primary auditory cortices are both spared. This aphasia is similar to Wernicke’s with fluent paraphasic speech but is different in that repetition is relatively intact.

Paraphasia Paraphasia is associated with fluent aphasias, characterized by “fluent spontaneous speech, long grammatically shaped sentences and preserved prosody abilities.” Examples of these fluent aphasias include receptive or Wernicke’s aphasia, anomic aphasia, conduction aphasia, and transcortical sensory aphasia, among others.

Causes The most common cause of aphasia is brain damage resulting from a stroke — the blockage or rupture of a blood vessel in the brain. Loss of blood to the brain leads to brain cell death or damage in areas that control language.

Overview Common causes include: 1  stroke – thought to be the most common cause, around one in three people experience some degree of aphasia after having a stroke. 2  severe head injury. 3  brain tumour.  progressive neurological conditions – conditions that, over time, cause progressive brain and nervous system damage.

Types of Aphasia Broca's Aphasia (expressive). When a stroke injures the frontal regions of the left hemisphere, different kinds of language problems can occur. This part of the brain is important for putting words together to form complete sentences.Injury to the left frontal area can lead to what is called Broca’s aphasia.hen a stroke affects an extensive portion of the front and back regions of the left hemisphere, the result may be global aphasia. Survivors with global aphasia: May have great difficulty in understanding words and sentences.

- It most often occurs because of penetrating head wounds. The frontal and temporal lobes are frequently involved. Of course this type of injury could occur anywhere in the brain. Dysphagia, aphasia, apraxia, dysarthria, paralysis, as well as visual and other problems can occur.

- Language function in many of these patients improves, and, at 6 months or more after stroke, only 12-18% of patients have identifiable aphasia. The most improvement in patients with aphasia occurs in the first 2-3 months, with the recovery rate dropping significantly after 6 months.

The Comprehensive Stroke Center at University Hospital The New Jersey Comprehensive Stroke Center at University Hospital. Types of Stroke. There are two main types of stroke — ischemic and hemorrhagic. Ischemic stroke is more common and occurs when blood flow to a part or parts of the brain is stopped by a blockage in a vessel.

- Some activities to support aphasia recovery include: 1  Play word-based games, such as board games, cards and crossword puzzles. 2  Cook a new recipe and read the ingredients. 3  Practice writing a shopping list or greeting cards to loved ones.  Read aloud or 1  sing. Go out to eat, order off a menu and calculate the  tip.

- Other deficits include a fluent (Wernicke’s) aphasia due to damage to Wernicke’s area. Left face and arm upper-motor weakness due to damage to motor cortex. Left hemineglect (variable) due to damage to non-dominant association areas. There may also be left face and arm cortical type sensory loss if the infarct involves the sensory cortex. Right pure upper-motor hemiparesis due to damage to the basal ganglia (globus pallidus and striatum) and the genu of the internal capsule on the left side. Larger infarcts extending to the cortex may produce cortical deficits such as aphasia.

Types of Stroke Ischemic is the more common type of stroke. An ischemic stroke occurs if an artery that supplies oxygen-rich blood to the brain becomes blocked. Blood clots often cause the blockages that lead to ischemic strokes. A hemorrhagic stroke occurs if an artery in the brain leaks blood or ruptures (breaks open).

Aphasia Aphasia is most often caused by stroke. However, any disease or damage to the parts of the brain that control language can cause aphasia. These include brain tumors, traumatic brain injury, and progressive neurological disorders.

Aphasia Aphasia is caused by damage to one or more of the language areas of the brain. Most often, the cause of the brain injury is a stroke. A stroke occurs when a blood clot or a leaking or burst vessel cuts off blood flow to part of the brain.

An Overview of Aphasia Aphasia is usually caused by a stroke or brain injury with damage to one or more parts of the brain that deal with language. According to the National Aphasia Association, about 25% to 40% of people who survive a stroke get aphasia. Aphasia may also be caused by a brain tumor, brain infection, or dementia such as Alzheimer's disease. In some cases, aphasia is a symptom of epilepsy or other neurological disorder.

Cerebrovascular Disease Ischemic Stroke Ischemic stroke is the most common type of stroke, accounting for a large majority of strokes. There are two types of ischemic stroke: thrombotic and embolic. A thrombotic stroke occurs when a blood clot, called a thrombus, blocks an artery to the brain and stops blood flow. TIA is a temporary cerebrovascular event that leaves no permanent damage. Usually it entails an artery to the brain is temporarily blocked, causing stroke-like symptoms, but the blockage dislodges before any permanent damage occurs. Symptoms of a TIA may be similar to a stroke, but they resolve quickly.

Cerebrovascular Accident Types of Cerebrovascular Accident. There are two main types of cerebrovascular accident, or stroke. An ischemic stroke is caused by a blockage, and a hemorrhagic stroke is caused by a breakage in a blood vessel. In both cases, part of the brain is deprived of blood and oxygen, causing the brain’s cells to die.ypes of Cerebrovascular Accident. There are two main types of cerebrovascular accident, or stroke.

- “Brain Attack: My journey of recovery from stroke and aphasia”, by David Dow. From Amazon.com When David Dow was ten years old, his life suddenly changed due to a massive stroke. The stroke left him paralyzed on the right side and gave him aphasia, leaving him unable to speak, read, or write. Brain Attack shares David’s story with frankness, humor, and most of all, with hope.

- The following are common speech and language disorders. APHASIA. Aphasia is loss of the ability to understand or express spoken or written language. It commonly occurs after strokes or traumatic brain injuries. It can also occur in people with brain tumors or degenerative diseases that affect the language areas of the brain.

What is Aphasia? Aphasia is caused by damage to one or more of the language areas of the brain. Many times, the cause of the brain injury is a stroke. A stroke occurs when blood is unable to reach a part of the brain. Brain cells die when they do not receive their normal supply of blood, which carries oxygen and important nutrients. Other causes of brain injury are severe blows to the head, brain tumors, brain infections, and other conditions of the brain.

The Comprehensive Stroke Center at University Hospital There are two types of thrombotic stroke: 1  Large vessel thrombosis, the most common form of thrombotic stroke, occurs in the brain’s larger arteries. The impact and damage tends to be magnified because all the smaller vessels that the artery feeds are deprived of blood.

- 1 aphasia: A loss of the ability to produce and/or understand language due to injury to brain areas specialized for these functions.  apraxia: The loss of the ability to perform tasks that require remembering patterns or sequences of movements (like waving goodbye).
