Broca's aphasia

**Aphasia Broca**

Motor aphasia is the inability of the patient to express thoughts through spoken speech and reading, which occurs when the areas of the brain responsible for speech are damaged. This term is also used to refer to a general speech impairment in the absence of hearing impairment.

Despite the fact that today we are talking about the presence of motor aphasia in a relatively small number of cases, the syndrome in some cases is observed even in children and can manifest itself at any stage of life. The pathology can occur either alone or in combination with other speech disorders, such as alexia, agrammatism, thassacusia and auditory-verbal deafness.

Modern pathological studies have identified several possible progression options for this syndrome, but the most common is an isolated type of disorder. In this regard, some experts believe that early diagnosis and treatment of motor aphasia is the work of specialists in various fields (pediatricians, neurologists, speech therapists, psychologists), since it often reveals itself in combination with elements of attention deficit disorder, anxiety disorders and other diseases of the central nervous system. systems. In such cases, treatment of pathologies leading to the development of motor aphasia should be carried out only under the supervision and recommendations of a doctor specializing in psychiatry, neuropsychology or neurology. As a rule, the prognosis for motor aphasia is determined by the speed of development of the disease and its manifestations, duration, so it is important to make the diagnosis as correctly as possible as soon as possible and begin comprehensive treatment as early as possible after the onset of the first symptoms. Despite the fact that during a comprehensive course of therapy it was possible to significantly reduce the number of deaths, the proportion of patients dying from complications of motor aphasia is increasing. This is due to the fact that a timely diagnosis and actions taken to eliminate the possible causes of the disease can reduce the level of deaths to a minimum or completely reduce the risks to zero. The syndrome is diagnosed by excluding other serious diseases that affect brain structures. For this purpose, methods of neuroimaging, electroencephalography, magnetic resonance imaging, etc. are used. The result of these procedures is the identification of areas of abnormal density, foci of hemorrhage, areas of inflammation, demyelination, hydrocephalus, as well as other problems directly related to damage to brain tissue with an already diagnosed syndrome. Symptoms of the disease allow us to start deciding on therapy as early as possible, reduce the time before starting conservative complex treatment, increase the chances of recovery and return the patient
