Crossed Aphasia in a Dextral without “Minor” Hemisphere Signs
A case of severe aphasia after right hemisphere stroke, confirmed by CT, in an unambiguously dextral patient is reported. The patient showed no limb apraxia, and performed well on a test of “closure” (Mooney faces). Extensive testing revealed no signs of visuo-spatial neglect. We conclude that “pure...
