Résumé

A 45-year-old female patient suffered from a stroke due to a left middle cerebral artery dissecting aneurysm, resulting in persistent expressive aphasia. Due to minor clinical response after 1 year of rehabilitation, a patient-center clinical evaluation and a tailored and intensive program were performed. Significant improvements were reported on cognitive, language and functional scales. Functional magnetic resonance also depicted a global increase in cortical activation, namely on language areas. Despite available evidence displaying that most neurological recovery occurs within the first 6–9 months after stroke, this case exemplifies that additional recovery might occur in later stages, pending on intensive and individualized treatments. Also, we highlight that the number of activations on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is, by itself, debatable as a surrogate for neurological recovery. Nevertheless, its’ relationship with clinical improvement is valuable information.
