Abstract
A persistent nonfluent aphasia following a right cerebral infarction developed in a 74-year-old right-handed Chinese man. Computerized axial tomography localized the lesion in the right frontal lobe. This case is similar to a previously reported one, also with crossed aphasia in a bilingual and dextral Chinese person. Despite these two independent observations and in spite of the fact that unusual cerebral organization might be related to early learning of a nonalphabetic (ideographic) language, preliminary sampling has failed to demonstrate a greater incidence of crossed aphasia in two separate Chinese populations.
