Crossed aphasia in a dextral patient with logopenic/phonological variant of primary progressive aphasia.

CONCLUSIONS: This case report provides evidence that crossed PPA can present with a logopenic variant in addition to the nonfluent type demonstrated by others. Functional neuroimaging showed unexpected right-sided hypoperfusion in this case with only subtle structural brain asymmetry, implicating a reverse pattern of language dominance.
