==Symptoms==
 
The main [[symptom]]s of the [[aphasia]] comprise loss of comprehension of spoken language, loss of ability to [[reading|read]] (silently) and write, and distortion of articulate speech. Although the affected persons may speak fluently with a natural [[rhythm]] the result may have no understandable meaning nor [[syntax]] although word memory is preserved and words are often chosen correctly. [[Alexia]], [[agraphia]], [[acalculia]], and [[paraphasia]] are frequently associated. Some patients are [[euphoria|euphoric]] and/or [[paranoia|paranoid]].
