Patterns of hemispheric compromise in primary progressive apraxia of speech: From clinical profiling to differential diagnosis
García, A. M. (2023). Patterns of hemispheric compromise in primary progressive apraxia of speech: From clinical profiling to differential diagnosis. European Journal of Neurology 30(6), 1555-1556.
En este número de European Journal of Neurology, Robinson et al. presentan un novedoso estudio sobre la apraxia progresiva primaria del habla. Los autores describen diferentes perfiles clinicopatológicos en pacientes con atrofia predominantemente izquierda, derecha o bilateral de las cortezas motora suplementaria y premotora lateral. Aquí se discute la importancia de la evidencia para entender las diferencias individuales entre estos pacientes, distinguiéndolos de aquellos con afasia primaria progresiva no fluente, y analizando las relaciones entre los déficits del habla y la patología subyacente.

Patterns of hemispheric compromise in primary progressive apraxia of speech: From clinical profiling to differential diagnosis
García, A. M. (2023). Patterns of hemispheric compromise in primary progressive apraxia of speech: From clinical profiling to differential diagnosis. European Journal of Neurology 30(6), 1555-1556.
In this issue of European Journal of Neurology, Robinson et al. present a novel study on primary progressive apraxia of speech. The authors describe different clinicopathological profiles in patients with left-dominant, right-dominant, and bilateral atrophy of the supplementary motor area and lateral premotor cortex. This commentary discusses the importance of this evidence for understanding individual differences among these patients, distinguishing them from those with nonfluent variant primary progressive aphasia, and analyzing the relations between motor speech deficits and underlying pathology.
