Symptoms of anomic aphasia
What are the clinical features of anomic aphasia, and where is the lesion that underlies it?
Persons with anomic aphasia have isolated deficits in word finding. Otherwise, their speech is fluent with good comprehension and good repetition.
Lesions producing this aphasia localize less specifically than other aphasias. They may be in the temporo-parieto-occipital association area.
This is also a common chronic residual syndrome for other acute aphasias after rehabilitation.
