Acquired Aphasia in Children
Acquired childhood aphasia is rare but has important conceptual implications for developmental neuropsychology. The last 15 years have seen major changes in their clinical description, which have led to the awareness that the syndromes in acquired childhood aphasia are more similar to the syndromes in adult aphasia than previously thought.

متن کاملRecovering from Acquired Childhood Aphasia (ACA)–20 Years Later, Learning about the Neuroplasticity of Language
Language is at the core of human cognitive abilities and the mechanisms associated with neural recovery from aphasia are still largely unknown. Important insights have been reported, such as: i) Significantly better recovery occurs, if the brain lesions leading to aphasia were suffered during childhood (ACA); ii) that perilesional map expansion and transference of language functions to homologu...

A six-year-old male patient had aphasia for three years and generalized tonic-clonic epileptic seizures for two years. Pure-tone audiometry and auditory brain-stem response audiometry findings were normal. He had verbal audi...
متن کاملPharmacotherapy to Improve the Acquired Aphasia following Brain Damages: A Review Study
Background & Aim: Using pharmaceutical agents in treatment of aphasia has caught the attention of many neurologists and neuroscientists. This short review study has sought the role of pharmacotherapy in treatment of aphasia, a linguistic impairment after acquired brain lesions. The pharmacological principles and mechanisms related to the effects of drugs used in aphasia rehabilitation are point...
متن کاملBrain glucose utilisation in acquired childhood aphasia associated with a sylvian arachnoid cyst: recovery after shunting as demonstrated by PET.
Regional brain glucose utilisation was investigated with PET and fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) in a case of epileptic aphasia (Landau-Kleffner syndrome) associated with a left sylvian arachnoid cyst. CT and MRI had failed to disclose any mass effect of the cyst on surrounding brain structures. Sequential metabolic measurements showed a comparable pronounced hypometabolism in cortical regions around ...
