Differential Diagnosis of Subcortical Aphasia and Dysarthria in the Course of Complex Speech Disorders:

Summary/Abstract: A case study of a male patient with Parkinson's disease who experienced complications and a hemorrhagic stroke involving subcortical structures following a second neurosurgical operation for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) application is presented. The dynamics of the resolution of individual linguistic and motor symptoms were assessed. Five periodic diagnoses were performed in the subacute stroke phase. Gradual resolution of linguistic disorders resulting from the neurological incident was identified. Despite confounding variables such as therapeutic care, the dynamics of changes were significant enough to characterize them in the context of thalamic subcortical aphasia and co-occurring hypokinetic dysarthria. In cases of complex neurogenic speech disorders resulting from subcortical structure damage in the subacute stroke phase, it is reasonable to assess the dynamics of symptom progression correlated with neurostructural and physiological analysis.
