Question Posted Wednesday November 19 2003, 3:47 pm
Is there a doctor in the house? If so, can you explain to me what acute neurological dysphasia is? I cannot find anything about it on the net, it sounds like something made-up and I really don't want to go to the library and reference it in medical books. Thanks!

I am not a medical doctor and would defer to her expertise as a registered nurse on this one.
Dysphasia is a language problem caused by brain damage, usually in the left side of the brain. It's generally characterized by a complete or partial loss of ability to understand, speak, read,write and I THINK sometimes swallow. The type and severity of the language difficulty will depend on which area of the brain has been affected. Acute is a term used to denote the sevrity of the affliction. Neurological denotes a nerve origin. [ OneMan's advice column | Ask OneMan A Question ]
