Aphasia is a language disorder that occurs when the part of the brain that is responsible for language becomes damaged. The damage usually happens to the left hemisphere of the brain and can happen quite quickly in cases such as head injury or stroke. Brain tumors can also cause aphasia, but the symptoms of these may only be seen gradually over a longer period of time.
Sufferers can also develop impairments in facial expressions and the understanding of language. They also have difficulty with reading and writing. A stroke is a very common cause of aphasia. A stroke occurs when brain cells die due to a lack of blood reaching the brain, resulting in a lack of vital nutrients and oxygen. Other causes of brain injury are brain infections and serious blows to the head.
