Abstract
Background: The crossed cerebro-cerebellar (CCC) language activation guides the determination of language dominance because it is generally undisturbed by a lesion localized in supratentorial language areas. Limited evidence suggests brain plasticity could underly language recovery after tumor resection surgery. A recent study revealed two patterns of language reorganization; however, language lateralization was determined after visual inspection of a single task (phonemic fluency). Aim: To describe eventual changes of language lateralization as part of a reorganization in a tumor brain patient with recurrent malignant glioma.
