Subcortical Aphasia is not among the typical eight types of aphasia. It is characterized as cerebral infarction or hemorrhage occurring in the region of the left basal ganglia internal capsule, accompanied with ventrical rounding and white matter. Subcortical aphasia is similar to transcortical aphasia in its symptom of repetition, and classification is difficult. Language ability can change rapidly over several months so a patient's convalescence is unpredictable. Because of the peculiarities of subcortical aphasia there are many conflicting hypotheses. Various clinical approaches and medical treatments for speech disorder(aphasia) have been presented. In Korean medicine, there are many studies about speech disorder, but few reports are related to subcortical aphasia. An aphasic stroke patient who was treated with acupuncture, herbal medicine(Jihwangumja), and speech-language therapy is here reported. Significant improvement in language abilities was seen over three months. Further clinical study of subcortical aphasia is needed.

1.본 증례에서는 한방치료와 언어치료를 병행하여 중풍환자의 유창성 실어증의 호전된 경과를 실어증 평가도구인 K-WAB 및 언어장애의 장애수준을 평가할 수 있도록 고안된 실용의사소통에 관한 조사(CADLT)를 사용하여 보았다. 2. 이후 실어증의 치료에서 한방 약물 치료 및 침구치료의 효과에 대한 객관적 연구 및 효과적으로 활용될 수 있는 언어치료 프로그램의 개발이 이루어져야 할 것으로 생각된다.
