Clot builds up at a place along the arterial wall and can finally block the artery flow. Majority of strokes (61%). Often associated with Arteriosclerotic Disease.
What is Thrombosis (type of Ischemic Stroke)

repetition is preserved, similar to global aphasia, with better repetition; non-fluent speech, echolalic langauge; poor comprehension; poor reading and writing

What is Mixed Transcortical Aphasia

300
A clot or tissue from elsewhere in body travels to brain and lodges in an artery, blocking bloodflow to tissue (24% of all strokes).
What is Embolism (type of Ischemic Stroke)

What is Semantic Paraphasia

speech is kind of fluent but delayed in initiation and utterances short, speech varies, word retrieval varies and is delayed, repetition is okay but delayed, comprehension is good

Transcortical motor or Anterior isolation syndrome

400
Fluency: Fluent Comprehension: Good Repetition: Good Naming: Impaired
What is Anomic Aphasia
400
Wall of artery bursts, causing lack of bloodflow to neurons (12% of strokes). Caused by hypertension, Aneurysm, Arteriovenous Malformations.
What is Hemorrhagic Stroke
400

Preserved repetition is a defining characteristic of these types of aphasias.

The Transcortical aphasias

400

fluent speech but empty; speech is variable, word retrieval is poor; repetition is poor with paraphasias and short span; comprehension is poor

What is Transcortical Sensory Aphasia

complete articulatory failure; apraxia of speech; preserved writing and comprehension; quite rare

What is Aphemia

500

What is Agrammatism vs. Paragrammatism?
