Broca’s Aphasia
When people are troubled by even the simplest tasks, such as speech, it is easy to see how tragic brain injuries are. This is especially true when the person in question had complete cognitive abilities before losing some essential function. When speech is severely impaired, such that speaking fluently is impossible, the person with these symptoms may be suffering from Broca’s aphasia.
If someone you love has had the misfortune of developing Broca’s aphasia due to an error by a surgeon or other medical staff, you may be entitled to compensation. Call 610-667-7511 to get the advice of a Pennsylvania medical malpractice attorney of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., today.
Signs of Broca’s Aphasia
Aphasia is the deterioration of a person’s ability to express ideas and understand language, both spoken and written. Expressive aphasia, or Broca’s aphasia, describes the inability to produce language. Symptoms of this brain damage may include:
- Deliberate, slow speech patterns
- Inability to form sentences
- Lack of tonality in speech
- Trouble writing
In some cases, Broca’s aphasia can result in form medical malpractice such as delayed or incorrect treatment after a stroke, causing a person to lose the speaking abilities they once had.
