Right Sided Cavernoma Presenting With Cross Aphasia After Surgery

摘要

27 years old woman presenting with seizure was hospitalised. We have seen a single lesion in frontal lobe on MRI. After surgery the histopathological result confirmed with cavernoma. The most important finding after surgey was cross aphasia. Cross aphasia is the term used for patients with normal left cerebral hemisphere and using their right hands, presenting with aphasia due to lesions like tumor, trauma, vascular lesions on right cerebral hemisphere. Cros aphasia is a rare situation with an incidance 0.4%-2%. This situation is explained by projection of left hemisphere on right side. The right hemispheric dominancy with 4 % percentage causes this situation.
