Anomic Aphasia

Overview:

A mild, fluent aphasia characterized primarily by persistent word-finding difficulties (anomia) with otherwise fluent and grammatically correct speech. Patients have intact comprehension and repeat sentences well; however, they often resort to circumlocution (talking around missing words) to compensate for naming failures. Anomic aphasia can result from diverse lesion locations (disrupting naming networks) rather than a single focal damage site.
