Aphasia is a problem with communication. In receptive aphasia, the patient cannot understand written or spoken language. Also, the words a patient uses sound normal but do not make sense. This communication problem may happen as a temporary single episode associated with a migraine headache, a seizure, or a transient ischemic attack (TIA).
