Childhood aphasia
The typical age for childhood aphasia is 3-7 years. However, in many cases, the time of onset of the disease depends on the moment at which the etiological factor acted - a hematoma occurred or an injury occurred. Depending on speech and non-speech symptoms, as well as the location of the lesion, in pediatrics and speech therapy the following forms of structural childhood aphasia are distinguished: acoustic-gnostic or sensory, acoustic-mnestic, afferent and efferent motor, dynamic. The semantic form present in adults is not observed in childhood, since in this period the system of symbolic-sign generalization of signals has not yet been formed.
Acoustic-gnostic
or sensory form. The affected area is the posterior 1/3 of the superior temporal gyrus of the left half of the brain. This form of childhood aphasia occurs due to impairments in the acoustic analysis and processing of speech sounds, which is characterized by damage to phonemic hearing. Clinically manifested by a violation of all forms of oral and written speech, reading and mental calculation, rhythmic reproduction. Also, such children experience excessive anxiety and excitability, and emotional instability.
Acoustic-mnestic aphasia
. Localization of the lesion is the middle and posterior parts of the temporal region. The essence of this childhood aphasia is increased inhibition of auditory traces, leading to impairment of auditory and speech memory. There is also a defect in visual and object images and representations. Such children do not understand subtext, allegories, and cannot name objects. There is a moderate impairment of oral speech and its perception. Increased activity and emotional instability and anxiety may occur.
Afferent motor aphasia
. The location of the lesion is the lower parietal areas of the dominant hemisphere. Pathogenetically based on disorders of kinesthetic perception. The main symptom is anomalies of small articulatory movements of the lips and tongue. Such children are either incapable of expressive speech or have a large number of literal paraphasias. Involuntary and automated (songs, poems) speech, writing and reading are preserved.
Efferent motor form
childhood aphasia. In this form, the posterior frontal areas are affected. The inertia of formed stereotypes suffers, which is manifested by perseverations. The ability to express verbally is minimal or completely absent. Individual sounds and automated speech can be stored. There is a violation of reading, writing, and apraxia.
Dynamic aphasia
. An extremely rare form in pediatrics, it can be observed in children of older age groups. Localization of the pathological focus is the posterior frontal regions. Pathogenetically, this type of disease is caused by defects in internal speech and a violation of the successive organization of speech. It manifests itself as a disorder of productive speech, an inability to actively communicate - normal sentences are replaced by stereotypes or templates, verbs are completely absent. Patients with this form of childhood aphasia almost never ask anything or engage in dialogue, but willingly answer the questions posed. Reading and writing can be saved.
Landau-Kleffner syndrome
. The localization of paroxysmal activity can be different; the temporal regions are most often affected. Loss of speech can occur either abruptly (most often) or gradually over several months. The ability to perceive speech is also lost, and behavioral and emotional disorders are possible - hyperexcitability, emotional lability. A characteristic feature of this form of childhood aphasia is convulsive seizures, which, however, are not observed in all patients.
