Broca’s Aphasia – Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosis & Treatments

Stroke

Stroke is a common trigger of Broca’s aphasia, especially when it happens in the language regions of the brain. This condition is caused when blood supply to your nervous central system is suddenly interrupted. As a result, your brain will lack oxygen or nutrients to function as usual, which leads to the death of brain neurons. When a stroke affects your Broca’s area, it will impair speech and communication abilities. If left untreated, it would lead to more serious complications. Therefore, immediate medical treatments are needed to reduce the risks of permanent damages. [7]
