“…Language disorder can manifest as fluently disorder, language comprehension disorder, repetition, item naming, reading, or writing. 4 25% to 40% of stroke survivors experience language disorder. 3 Language disorder associated with more severe stroke, which makes post-stroke language disorder a significant disability for patients and a risk factor for high mortality.…”

Background: Stroke is the second leading cause of death in the world and the leading cause of disability worldwide. One of the disabilities is language disorder. Foreign Accent Syndrome (FAS) is a clinical condition associated with a noticeable change of accent, affecting verbal communication and social interaction skills. By identifying this case earlier, we hope the patient’s daily living is less disrupted. Case: A 54-year-old woman came with complaints of weakness and tingling in the right limbs accompanied by a change in language accent. Weakness in the right limbs was felt since 4 years ago, then 1 year later the patient began to experience a change in the speech accent, from a Javanese accent to a Madurese accent, where previously the patient had never lived or studied Madurese. The results of the neurobehavior examination showed the patient had disturbances in the language and memory domain. MRI revealed cerebral infarction in the bilateral hippocampi, small vessel ischemic in the bilateral frontal lobes, and corona radiata. Discussion: The accent change, known as FAS experienced by the patients, is thought to be due to neurological causes, which was stroke. In a study using a lesion network mapping approach, it was concluded that the lesion causing accent disorder was located within a single network in the bilateral frontal lobe. In line with the existing theory, the MRI results in this patient showed ischemia in the blood vessels of the bilateral frontal lobes.

The neurological condition aphasia is brought on by injury to the area of the brain involved in language. The primary indicators of this disease include trouble understanding speech, having trouble expressing oneself verbally, and having trouble reading and writing. By assisting the patient in making the most of their residual language skills, recovering as much language as possible, compensating for language deficits, and learning other forms of communication, aphasia therapy aims to enhance each patient’s capacity for communication. We reported a 49-year-old male with main complaint of weakness on the right extremity and communication disorders, such as right hemiparesis, hypesthesia, and spasticity. There were perceptual and cognitive dysfunction with MMSE score = 6 accompanied by apraxia, no gross visual deficits, and no agnosia. Communication was not fluent, comprehension was good, and repetition was poor. Intensive language therapy should be initiated as soon as possible and adapted to the patient’s individual needs, medically and neurologically stable even with a delay of up to 6 months post onset. Rehabilitative programs may involve speech therapy to relearn speech and swallowing, occupational therapy to regain arm and hand dexterity, and physical therapy to improve strength, endurance, and mobilization. Speech rehabilitation involves extensive practice reading, writing, following directions, and repeating what they hear. Computer-assisted therapy can complement standard language therapy. The goal of aphasia treatment is to enhance a person’s capacity for communication by assisting them in making the most of their residual talents, regaining as much language as they can, compensating for language deficits, and learning other forms of expression.
