A musically naive patient with dominant fronto-temporal and anterior parietal infarct developed transcortical mixed aphasia. From early convalescence, he exhibited elated mood with hyperprosody and repetitive, spontaneous whistling and whistling in response to questions. He often spontaneously sang without error in pitch, melody, rhythm and lyrics, and spent long periods of time listening to music. His behaviour progressively improved in parallel with very good recovery of verbal skills. Musicality and singing are rarely tested at the bedside. Preservation of these abilities in aphasics might portend eventual recovery.
一名患有优势额颞叶和顶叶前部梗死的音乐零基础患者出现了经皮质混合性失语。从早期恢复期开始,他表现出情绪高涨,语调亢进,反复自发地吹口哨,并在回答问题时吹口哨。他经常自发唱歌,音高、旋律、节奏和歌词都无误,还会花很长时间听音乐。随着言语技能的良好恢复,他的行为也逐渐改善。床边很少对音乐能力和唱歌进行测试。失语症患者保留这些能力可能预示着最终会康复。
