MeSH Heading: Aphasia, Conduction
Tree Number(s): C10.597.606.150.500.800.100.111; C23.888.592.604.150.500.800.100.111
Unique ID: D018886
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018886
Scope Note: A type of fluent aphasia characterized by an impaired ability to repeat one and two word phrases, despite retained comprehension. This condition is associated with dominant hemisphere lesions involving the arcuate fasciculus (a white matter projection between Broca's and Wernicke's areas) and adjacent structures. Like patients with Wernicke aphasia (APHASIA, WERNICKE), patients with conduction aphasia are fluent but commit paraphasic errors during attempts at written and oral forms of communication. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p482; Brain & Bannister, Clinical Neurology, 7th ed, p142; Kandel et al., Principles of Neural Science, 3d ed, p848)
