It is well known that language has a closed relation with brain structures and its functions. In this studied case, there will be a description and analysis of the most affected speaking and lecture functions as a consequence of a brain-vascular event due to a traffic accident. Then, the reader will find a review of intervention procedures oriented to restore some of the most altered expression and comprehension functions of language, the understanding of lecture and writing.
