Contrecoup injury in the misdiagnosis of crossed XXXX .

@entity1 @entity1052 @entity75 @entity542 @entity2026 @entity71152
Crossed @entity2026 is reported to be more frequent in traumatic series than in series of @entity1 with other pathologies. A right-handed young @entity1 suffered a closed- @entity542 and became aphasic and hemiparetic on the left. CT scan revealed a @entity75 . Neuropsychological examination revealed a fluent @entity2026 and a @entity1052 . These signs were compatible with left @entity71152 . However, the presence of a @entity75 suggested that this @entity1 could be a crossed aphasic. Subsequent EEG study showed a left occipitotemporal focus and a right frontal one. Aphasic signs could thus be due to the @entity75 , which was the result of a contrecoup mechanism. Fluent aphasias have been reported in closed- @entity542 with right frontal impact. Attention is called for the possible bias of including cases like this in series of traumatic crossed @entity2026 .
