With this aphasia there is the added symptom of not being able to repeat a phrase.<\/p>\n<p>Lesions of motor cortex around Broca&#8217;s area that do not directly damage Broca&#8217;s area produce an expressive aphasia in which repetition is intact. This is a transcortical motor aphasia, one example of which is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.docneuro.com\/sma-aphasia.html\">supplementary motor area aphasia<\/a> that sometime develops when the SMA is damaged with infarction of the left anterior cerebral artery territory.<\/p>\n<p>Expressive aphasias are often \u201cfrustrating to the patient\u201d because while the patient can understand everything that is being said to and of them, they are unable to express themselves to their physician or family.<\/p>\n<p>The expressive aphasias are highlighted below using classification based on  three screening questions.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-499\" src=\"https:\/\/docneuro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/expressive-aphasia.png\" alt=\"expressive aphasia classification\" class=\"pull-center\" width=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/docneuro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/expressive-aphasia.png 922w, https:\/\/docneuro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/expressive-aphasia-300x42.png 300w, https:\/\/docneuro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/expressive-aphasia-768x107.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 922px) 100vw, 922px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patients with expressive aphasia have difficultly speaking fluently, although they can understand what other people say when they are spoken to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":499,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[520,525,385],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Expressive aphasia - DocNeuro<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A summary of expressive aphasias, including both Broca&#039;s aphasia and transcortical motor aphasia.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/docneuro.com\/expressive-aphasia\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Expressive aphasia - DocNeuro\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A summary of expressive aphasias, including both Broca&#039;s aphasia and transcortical motor aphasia.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/docneuro.com\/expressive-aphasia\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"DocNeuro\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DocNeuro\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2014-09-15T00:48:33+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/docneuro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/expressive-aphasia.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"922\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"129\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Naoum P.
