ABSTRACT
Objective To study the linguistic manifestations and locations of brain lesions of Uyghur aphasia patients,and the differences between Uyghurs and other Chinese aphasics.Methods Forty-five aphasic Uyghurs and forty-five other Chinese aphasies were studied.All had suffered a stroke.Aphasia examinations were performed using a Chinese aphasia battery(ABC).CT and MRI images were taken of all patients.Results There was no obvious difference in linguistic manifestations between the Uyghur and other aphasics.The brain lesions of 24 Uyghur cases(53.33%)and 36 of the others(80%)were located in the classic language centers,a highly significant difference.The incidence of crossed aphasia in the Uyghur group was higher than among the others.Conclusion Various types of aphasia have their own unique linguistic characteristics,but the same type of aphasia has the same linguistic characteristics among Uyghurs and other Chinese.Chinese aphasia is more coincident with the pattern of classic language centers than aphasia among Uyghurs.
