- Abstract
Around 90%-95% of the right-handed individuals usually demonstrate language dominance in the left hemisphere.[[1]] Around 70% of the left-handed individuals show left-hemisphere language dominance, whereas 27% of the left-handed subjects have right-hemisphere dominance for language.[[2]] Stroke is one of the leading causes for aphasia, and the prevalence of it in India is 545.10% per 100,000 persons.[[3]] Aphasia is a loss of language due to the left-hemisphere damage in most right handers and around 55.1% exhibited this type of aphasia.[[4]] Aphasia due to right-hemisphere damage in a left-handed (ARL) individual is rarely reported. To conclude, the patient exhibited non-fluent aphasia with right-hemisphere damage being a left hander (ARL). The Mini Inventory of Right Brain Damage-2 (MIRBI-2)[[6]] was administered to find out any deficits of the right-hemisphere damage.
