Abstract
The preceding short examination for dysphasia can be used to provide a rough clinical guide to Classification of dysphasic syndromes. Formal language evaluation should be carried out to refine the initial impression. We emphasize that many patients with dysphasia do not have signs which can be easily or neatly categorized, regardless of the technical skill or years of experience of the examiner; in such cases a thoughtful description of the Observation is more helpful than an attempt to force the clinical findings to conform to a pre-conceived category.
