What is anomia and what causes it?

The first is often the feature of anomia, due to a focal lesion, and the second is more applicable in dementia or diffuse lesions. However, there is considerable overlap and uncertainty.
Do patients with pure anomia have comprehension problems?
Many patients with pure anomia have comprehension problems in early stages and only with recovery pass on to the stage of residual anomia. Anomia and paraphasias may persist even when comprehension has recovered.
