The cerebellum contributes to linguistic production

A case of agrammatic speech following a right cerebellar lesion

Maria Caterina Silveri, MD, Maria Giuseppa Leggio, MD and Marco Molinari, MD, PhD

Institute of Neurology, Neuropsychology Service, Catholic University, Rome, Italy.

We describe a patient who, after a right cerebellar infarction, developed a right hemicerebellar syndrome and agrammatic speech without other cognitive impairments. We hypothesize that the cerebellum provides the temporal interplay among the neural structures underlying the processes responsible for production of sentences.
