Reel-Example: Conduction Aphasia 2

[Claire-West]

This is a very interesting example of aphasia, but is this really conduction aphasia? I thought production abilities were intact in conduction aphasia.

[JuhiMittal]

Here's is my take- Since he has fluent speech, it's definitely a sensory aphasia. Now Since he is able to understand questions, his comprehension is intact- So it can either be Nominal/ Conduction. It is definitely conduction since in Nominal usually patients have problem with some words only.

[shanners]

This looks more like global aphasia with monoaphasia (only produces one word, repeated over and over)

[gracegeradts]

To me this looks like Broca's aphasia, saying one word but seemingly understanding the questions and trying to respond with hand gestures. Broca's aphasia was first discovered in a patient who could only say "Tan", he knew what he wanted to say but just couldn't physically find the words. In Wernicke's aphasia you usually see lots of different words being used that don't convey meaning together.

[nicolajlaugesen]

This is not conduction aphasia. Repetition is not tested in this video. I think it's Broca's aphasia with monophasia. According to Adams & Victor counting by consecutive numbers can be conserved in Broca's aphasia.

[umakantapradhan]

This patient has conducting aphasia. Because the patient can understand and is fluent.

[jalanomamos]

I think this is more of a global aphasia than an example of conduction aphasia.

[nakatotio]

Personally, I think it is much likely a mixed-type aphasia. In this case, seemingly he could roughly understand what the interviewer was saying to him & asking him to do then, but the severe issue was in return, he could only respond with monotonous words or rather - sounds repeatedly, which were thoroughly not understandable to us. A fortunate thing among many misfortunes, the ability of understanding the instruction of repeating and expressing the numbers one to ten, had been reserved, but only to some extent. Though not even a single meaningful spoken word came out, the tones (raising and falling) can be observed to be presented, at least to some extent. I guess deep in his brain, the abilities of encoding spoken words and phrases may be relatively kept (reserved), but the big big problem is his brain has lost the capability of transforming such "coding or encoded information" to real spoken words which can be understood to us, in external forms.

I don't think its conduction dysphasia. It's more likely Broca's aphasia.

[aldohipnaranjo]

The people think that only beacuse Broca described his patient "tan", he had Broca's Aphasia. In current studies using MRI in the tan's brain they could see that he really had a global aphasia (not only crotical lessions, but also subcortical structures) and because "tan" in his only verbal production in his conversational speech) thus, they say that a Broca's aphasic will not have the same symtoms like tan.

Absolutely this patient (tone) has a Global Aphasia, his speech is reduced only to stereotype "tone".

(sorry by my english)

[delbaby]

He’s using stereotypes y’all. This is absolutely nonfluent aphasia, maybe mixed nonfluent.

[anjuchandrasekhar]

This is conduction aphasia. He comprehends well to the question( seen from his expressions), he is fluent (a lott of words from his mouth unlike transcortical where repetetion is intact and speaks sparse words)

[FS-jk]

Severe Broca's aphasia with intact automatic speech (e.g., counting), and relatively preserved comprehension.

[karimali]

It's more like jargon's aphasia
The lesion might be in supramarginal gyrus with impairment to the ideas of speech .. leading to what they call word salad ( non-sense phrases )

[geraldwilkerson]

Can he write? Like would he write "todtodotodotodo" or "my name is John?"

[mariegtke]

I am wondering wich type of aphasia this man has? Is it Brocas, Wernickes or conduction aphasia? I can't figure it out :)

[peytonfox]

This seems like transcortical motor aphasia. He is able to repeat and has expression difficulty. It is a non-fluent aphasia, as is Brocas, but Brocas aphasia is non=repetitive type of aphasia. Conduction aphasia includes poor repetition, so this does not seem like conduction aphasia to me.

[mohamedelsayed]

I think it's a transcortical motor aphasia

[jaisuryaj]

This is Transcortical motor aphasia...certainly not a conduction aphasia

[LaurenMDoud]

This is Broca's Aphasia, not conduction aphasia.
