Abstract
A 53-year-old right-handed man with a 55-month history of conduction aphasia and a left hemiparesis following a right putaminal hemorrhage was reported. CT scan revealed a hemorrhage area in the right putaminal and atrophy in the left sylvius sulcus. His pattern of language impairment was characterized by disturbance of repetition with preserved comprehension and word-findings. Repetition errors consisted of substitution of one postpositional word ( “joshi” ) for another. These repetition errors appeared similar to “paragrammatistic paraphasias” (as described by Hadano), but remained unchanged even after 55 months after onset.
