Abstract

Objectives: To study patients with crossed aphasia (aphasia secondary to lesions in the right hemisphere in right-handed patients) with functional brain imaging using positron emission tomography (PET) or single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT); to see whether left hemisphere structures were metabolically depressed during the acute phase and, in 1 patient, during recovery; and to review the modern literature on crossed aphasia, with special reference to left hemisphere involvement.
