  • Aphasia is always caused by an injury to the brain, most commonly from a stroke. However, aphasia may also be caused by brain injuries after head trauma, brain tumors or infections.

  • Aphasia affects more people than many other common conditions, including cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and muscular dystrophy.

  • About one-third of strokes (225,000) result in aphasia.
