Abstract
Ten patients are presented with severe dysarthria from a right hemisphere stroke, 4 with autopsies, emphasizing that this lesion alone is compatible with severely slurred speech. Most had oropharyngeal weakness; the accompanying hemiparesis was of variable severity. Superficial or deep infarctions were responsible, the smallest involving the right frontal operculum.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
