aphasia

Aphasia manifestations mainly involve both speech production and speech comprehension, often in listening, speaking, reading, writing, and calculation. Stroke is the most common cause of aphasia, while others include craniocerebral injury, brain tumor, and encephalitis. 1. Auditory comprehension disorder: Auditory comprehension disorder is a common symptom in patients with aphasia, which refers to the reduction or loss of the patient’s ability to understand spoken language. It includes semantic comprehension disorder (the patient can correctly recognize the speech but not the meaning of the words, due to the interruption of the sound-meaning connection, which often results in confusion or failure to understand the meaning of the words) and speech recognition disorder (the patient can hear the sound like a normal person, but when listening to the other person’s speech, he/she can not recognize the sound he/she hears, which gives a feeling of seemingly inaudible). 2. Oral Expression Disorder: The spoken language of aphasia is generally categorized into fluent and non-fluent according to the characteristics of the patient’s conversation. 3. Dyslexia: Reading includes reading aloud and comprehension of words, and these two can appear separated, i.e., the patient cannot read aloud but can understand the meaning of the words, or can read aloud correctly but does not understand the meaning of the words, or both. 4. Writing disorders: writing can not: manifested as complete writing disorders, can not form words. It can be seen as the addition or reduction of strokes, or the writing of all the wrong strokes; mirror writing: that is, the writing of the word is upside down, like looking in a mirror, and so on. It is recommended that aphasia should be treated in a timely manner to avoid aggravation of the condition.
