Right cerebral hemisphere damage: incidence of language problems. Benton E, Bryan K. Crawley Hospital, West Sussex, UK. While dysphasia is rare after right cerebral hemisphere damage (RHD), there is now a body of evidence to suggest that language and communication problems can occur.This paper reports the findings of a pilot study that estimated the incidence of non-dysphasic language and communication problems following RHD.ight cerebral hemisphere damage: incidence of language problems.
