The hypothesis was tested that alexia associated with Broca's aphasia may often be a residual receptive disorder of a broader picture of global aphasia. It was found that alexia does tend to be associated, as expected, to the long-standing Broca's aphasias more often than to the recent ones. However, the CT scan failed to disclose larger and more posterior lesions in Broca's alexic than in Broca's non-alexic patients.
有人提出一种假说，即与布罗卡失语症相关的失读症可能常常是更广泛的完全性失语症整体情况中残留的接受性障碍。研究发现，正如预期的那样，失读症往往与病程较长的布罗卡失语症相关，而非与近期发病的布罗卡失语症相关。然而，计算机断层扫描未能显示出患有布罗卡失读症的患者比未患布罗卡失读症的患者有更大且更靠后的病灶。
