Zusammenfassung

Die gekreuzte Aphasie (crossed aphasia, CA) ist eine seltene erworbene Sprachstörung infolge einer rechtshemisphärischen zerebralen Schädigung bei Rechtshändern. Anhand eines Fallberichts werden für die Diagnosestellung einer CA relevante Aspekte und wichtige Differenzialdiagnosen erläutert. Unter Bezug auf die Literatur werden wesentliche Hypothesen zur Ätiologie, Epidemiologie, Phänomenologie und Pathophysiologie der CA referiert. Das Phänomen der CA hat über Jahrzehnte hinweg zur Entwicklung von Hypothesen zur Lateralisation kognitiver Funktionen beigetragen.

Abstract

Crossed aphasia (CA) is a rare acquired language disorder caused by a right-sided brain lesion in dextrals. Based on a case report, relevant aspects for the diagnosis of CA and differential diagnoses will be outlined. Relevant hypotheses concerning etiology, epidemiology, phenomenology and pathophysiology will be discussed with reference to the literature. The phenomenon of CA has contributed for decades to the development of hypotheses concerning lateralization of cognitive abilities.
