Neuropsychological analysis in a case of Global Aphasia

Abstract

Acquired brain damage generates a series of neuropsychological alterations, among which we can highlight aphasia. This syn- drome is characterized by language impairment, with its main features being deficits in fluency, comprehension, repetition, naming, reading, writing and calculation. In this article we present the case of a patient suffering from global aphasia, who presents severe linguistic alterations. The state of the disease and its neuropsychological condition are analyzed. Finally, we close this analysis, highlighting the need for a correct neuropsychological approach at the level of diagnosis and rehabilitation which can help the patient.
