Comprehensive Review of Neuroimaging in Neurogenic Communication Disorders

Written by renowned author Kostas Konstantopoulos, this book provides an in-depth review of cases that utilize neuroimaging in neurogenic communication disorders. It serves as an essential resource for medical students, practitioners, and researchers in neuroscience and speech language pathology.

Understanding Neurogenic Communication Disorders

Neurogenic communication disorders occur when the central or peripheral nervous system is damaged, leading to speech and language impairments. These disorders can be caused by various neurological conditions, including:

• Parkinson’s disease
• Stroke
• Dementia
• Traumatic brain injury
• Brain tumors
• Other neurologic disorders

Such damage can result in disorders like:

• Aphasia
• Dysarthria
• Apraxia

• Basic neuroanatomy related to speech and pathology
• Case studies organized by anatomical entities involved in lesions
• Detailed information on each case, including:
• Neuroanatomy
• Case presentation
• Neuroimaging
• Differential diagnosis
• Final diagnosis
