Abstract

Aphasia is an acquired language disorder due to a cerebral lesion; it is characterized by errors in production, denomination, or comprehension of language. Although most aphasias are mixed, from a practical point of view they are classified into different types according to their main clinical features: Broca's aphasia, Wernicke's aphasia, conduction aphasia, transcortical aphasia, and alexia with or without agraphia. We present the clinical findings for the main subtypes of aphasia, illustrating them with imaging cases, and we provide an up-to-date review of the language network with images from functional magnetic resonance imaging and tractography.

Keywords: Afasia transcortical; Afasias; Aphasias; Broca; Broca's aphasia; Functional magnetic resonance imaging; Ictus; Resonancia magnética funcional; Stroke; Tractografía; Tractography; Transcortical aphasia; Wernicke; Wernicke's aphasia.
