What is Aphasia?
Aphasia is a language disorder caused by damage in a specific area of the brain that controls language expression and comprehension. Aphasia leaves a person unable to communicate effectively with others.
Aphasia is caused by damage to the language-dominant side of the brain, usually the left side, and may be brought on by stroke, head injury, brain tumor, infection, or dementia.
The fact is unknown if aphasia causes the complete loss of language structure, or if it causes difficulties in how language is accessed and used.
