A women who had previously had musical ability presented with bilateral embolic damage to both superior temporal convolutions. For the first few days, she had complete cortical deafness with reception aphasia. This evolved to a slight Wernicke's aphasia and reception amusia. The amusia was characterized by inability to understand lyrics and tunes, and in this patient has persisted a year and a half later.
It is postulated that the inability to understand the words of songs is due to damage to the first left temporal convolution, whilst the amusia of tunes is due to damage to the first right temporal convolution.
一名曾有音乐能力的女性出现双侧颞上回栓塞性损伤。在最初几天，她完全皮质性聋伴感受性失语。这逐渐发展为轻度韦尼克失语和感受性失乐症。失乐症的特征是无法理解歌词和曲调，在该患者中这种情况持续了一年半。
据推测，无法理解歌曲歌词是由于左侧第一颞回受损，而曲调失乐症是由于右侧第一颞回受损。
