“…Las funciones cerebrales superiores tales como el lenguaje, son un sistema funcional que depende del trabajo integrado de todo un grupo de zonas corticales y subcorticales, cada una de las cuales aporta su propia contribución al resultado final. La lesión de uno de los componentes alterará todo el sistema (1)(2)(3) . Los componentes principales del lenguaje se encuentran en el hemisferio dominante (izquierdo), en la zona perisilviana (4,5) .…”

Language is the most important way of communication of the human being. It is a complex and dynamic conventional system of signs that can be oral or written. Language is a functional system that depends on the simultaneous work of different areas of the brain, both cortical and subcortical, that are located primarily in the left hemisphere. There are several variables that have an effect on the representation of language in the brain, such as laterality, sex, scholarship and age. The areas and tracts related to language can be grouped in two pathways, dorsal and ventral. The first is related to expression and the second to comprehension. Aphasia takes place when areas and tracts of the brain related to language are damaged.

“…Los errores más comunes son: las parafasias fonémicas, semánticas, verbales y neológicas. Estas afecciones se producen por lesiones localizadas detrás de la cisura de Rolando (región témporo-parietal) (1,4,6,11,12) . Las afasias no fluentes, en la mayoría de los casos, presentan reducción del discurso tanto cualitativa como cuantitativamente.…”

Language is a complex and dynamic system of conventional signs that results from the functioning of different brain areas located mainly in the left hemisphere. Clinical evaluation of aphasia implicates the examination of oral and written language. Aphasia is an acquired language disorders due to a brain damage that affect all modalities: oral expression, auditory comprehension, reading and writing. Various types of aphasias can be induced, each with well defined clinical characteristics that can be correlated with specific areas of the brain. The prognosis depends mainly on the etiology, size of the lesion, type of aphasia and its severity. Treatment objectives include: satisfying the communicational needs of the patient, and achieving psychosocial adaptation of the subject and his family. Both objectives improve the quality of life of our patients.
