Abstract
Wernicke’s aphasia is a fluent type of aphasia characterized by unintelligible speech and impaired auditory comprehension, typically resulting from damage to the posterior portion of the superior temporal gyrus in the dominant hemisphere. We report the rare case of Wernicke’s aphasia following a traumatic brain injury, emphasizing the crucial role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in establishing the topographic diagnosis.
