Here we present a case of a native Greek male patient who presented clinically with sudden onset pure word deafness after an ischemic stroke in the temporoparietal region of the right hemisphere, but who had suffered an ischemic stroke 9 years previously in an adjacent area of the left hemisphere, causing aphasic symptoms which resolved quickly and almost completely. What makes this case interesting and novel is that it is the first case describing a patient whose ventral language comprehension circuit did not reorganize successfully due to damage of the adjacent right hemisphere language areas at a subsequent time.
在这里，我们报告了一例希腊籍男性患者，他在右半球颞顶叶区域发生缺血性中风后出现突发性纯词聋，但他在 9 年前左侧半球相邻区域曾发生过缺血性中风，导致了失语症状，这些症状很快且几乎完全缓解。这个病例的有趣之处在于，这是首例描述患者由于随后右侧半球语言区域的损伤导致腹侧语言理解回路未能成功重组的病例。
