Aphasia with a left frontal interhemispheric hematoma

From the Departments of Neurology (Drs. Tijssen, Tavy, and Endtz), Neuroradiology (Dr. Hekster), and Neuropathology (Dr. Bots), Municipal Hospitals, The Hague, The Netherlands.

We studied a patient with transcortical motor aphasia resulting from a traumatic interhemispheric left frontal hematoma. The aphasia was caused by compression exerted by the hematoma on the left supplementary motor area, which is known to have a function in speech. This cause of a transcortical motor aphasia has not been described earlier.
