Özet

The purpose of the study is to research the prognosis of patients with aphasia due to ischemic cerebrovascular disease (SVO). In this study, a total of 40 patients with aphasia (8 with Wernicke, 18 with Mixed, 14 with Broca aphasia) that were hospitalized due to SVO have been tested with Gulhane Aphasia Test (GAT) after 1,5 and 6 months and the prognoses have been examined. When the factors affecting the aphasia prognosis are compared, it is determined that the aphasia prognosis of the patients with high education under the age of 50 is better. When the effect of time on the improvement in aphasia is assessed, while there was significant recovery within 1,5 months in patients with Wernicke aphasia, it was seen that the recovery process continues up to 6 months in patients with Broca and Mixed aphasia. The most recovered language component is determined to be naming in Wernicke and Broca groups and repeating in patients with Mixed aphasia. It is found that the repeating component improves faster than the speaking component in patients with Broca aphasia. In the assessments of the patients with Broca, Wernicke and Mixed aphasia after 6 months it was not determined that the type of aphasia has no affect on prognosis.
