Anarthria
Definition
An extreme clinical form of dysarthria, characterized by the complete loss of the ability to articulate words and pronounce speech sounds, resulting from a severe lesion of the central or peripheral nervous system (such as strokes, head traumas, or neurodegenerative diseases). In neurological semiology, this structural disorder exclusively affects the motor function of the muscles involved in phonation, while language comprehension and writing capabilities remain intact.
