Transcortical sensory aphasia
Transcortical sensory aphasia is the least common type of aphasia. It is similar to Wernicke’s aphasia in that speech is fluent but often lacks meaning. Auditory comprehension is often impaired. Unlike in individuals with Wernicke's aphasia, those with transcortical sensory aphasia have preserved repetition, as can repeat words and sentences of considerable length and complexity.
