[Crossed aphasia in right handed patients].

The very rare aphasia following damage to the right cerebral hemisphere in right-handed subjects is described, with a survey of the views on this problem and presentation of two cases of this so-called crossed aphasia in right-handed subjects. On one of these cases the lesion was cortico-subcortical in a part of the frontal lobe, temporal lobe and a part of the occipital lobe, with sparing of the deep structures of the right hemisphere and with clinical pattern resembling that of Broca aphasia. In the second case the lesion involved the subcortical and deep structures with destruction of the lentiform nucleus, anterior part of the internal capsule and part of the head of the caudate nucleus, and the clinical pattern resembled that of Wernicke aphasia.

[Vascular ischemic dementia].

Observations are reported of the course and other interrelations between clinical pattern and computer tomography results in 36 patients with vascular ischaemic dementia. Attention is called to the frequency of transient dementia-like disturbances following stroke and to the importance of the middle gyrus of the left frontal lobe in the development of dementia manifestations. In cases with slow progression of dementia symptoms and only scant neurological signs not infrequently long-standing improvement or even complete remission of dementia symptoms occur which sets them apart from mixed forms of dementia. The problem of the occurrence of isolated dementia syndromes of sudden onset is discussed and for them the term "stroke with dementia" is proposed.
