Speech and Language Disorders Subsequent to Subcortical Vascular-Lesions
|
|
|
|
Abstract:
The speech and language abilities of four cases with subcortical brain lesions of vascular origin centred on either the thalamus or basal ganglia were investigated at least six months post-onset of their neurological disorder. The results of standardized language assessments indicated that long-lasting, atypical, fluent aphasia was present in all subjects. Considerable variation existed between the language abilities of each subject assessed and a single, invariable ‘subcortical aphasia’ syndrome was not found. In no case could the language disturbance be classified into one of the traditional cortical aphasia syndromes. The language assessment results were used to evaluate a recently proposed model of subcortical participation in language based on the assumption that pre-verbal semantic monitoring is subserved by subcortical structures. Although all subjects examined had deficits in the semantic level of language, the presence of other aphasic characteristics (e.g., agrammatism, verbal dyspraxia and comprehension deficits) indicated that the proposed model may be inadequate to describe the role of various subcortical structures in language. All subjects exhibited an atypical dysarthria that could not be classified into any of the classical types. In two cases the dysarthria was similar to that reported to follow unilateral upper motor neurone lesions. A mixed spastic—hypokinetic dysarthria was also observed in one case while the remaining case exhibited an atypical spastic dysarthria. The dysarthria observed in each case is discussed in relation to the subcortical lesion site identified by CT scan.
