Abstract

"Primary progressive aphasia(PPA) can be classified into nonfluent and fluent types. The fluent PPA usually manifests as Wernicke ’s or transcortical sensory aphasia. We report a 61-year-old right-handed woman who presented with a flu-ent PPA. An aphasia test revealed fluent speech and intact comprehension but decreased repetition and naming, consis-tent with conduction aphasia. Other cognitive functions and activities of daily living were preserved. Brain MRI and SPECT respectively showed a focal atrophy and a hypoperfusion in the left temporal lobe. Key Words : Primary progressive aphasia, Conduction aphasia"
