title: [Gerstmann's syndrome: report of a case].
abstract: In recent years, several authors have questioned the reliaty of Gerstmann syndrome and have claimed that "aphasia might be regarded as the true Grundstörung of the Gerstmann symptoms". This paper describes a case of Gerstmann syndrome ictally risen with aphasia in a patient suffering from a tumour of the left PTO region. After the remission of aphasia, the syndromic association typical of the Gerstmann syndrome lasted up the exitus.
