Abstract

Introduction: In the current study, we report a patient of crossed aphasia in dextrals (CAD) that presented with aphasia and typical neuropsychological deficits following right hemisphere brain damage. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, it is the first Persian language patient of CAD reported internationally. Case Presentation: The patient was a 59-year-old right-handed female with no history of left-handedness or ambidexterity in her family. Right handedness was measured in the current patient by the Edinburgh right-handedness inventory. Speech and language functions were measured by the Persian Western-Aphasia Battery (P-WAB) and the Bilingual Aphasia test (BAT). Also, the bedside version of Persian WAB (P-WAB-1) was used. Hemianopia/neglect was investigated by line bisection, painting, and cancellation tasks that confirmed left visuospatial neglect. Telegraphic speech was her dominant output feature. She had a problem with sentence construction; also, her morphological derivation skills were impaired. The syntactic structures of utterances were very simple. In writing tasks, her sample was unintelligible semantically. The auditory comprehension of the patient was impaired at the level of semi-complex and complex commands. It should be mentioned that difficulty in topic maintenance was observed in storytelling. Left visuospatial neglect was confirmed in the patient by assessments. The results confirmed the presence of neglect and language disorder, typologically consistent with Broca’s aphasia. Conclusions: The current study patient represented the typical symptoms of language dominant left hemisphere damage and a range of deficits indicating right hemisphere pathology. Analysis of patient symptoms confirmed the right hemisphere language dominance. © 2020, Middle East Journal of Rehabilitation and Health Studies.
