title: [Childhood aphasia with epilepsy. Remission with antiepileptic treatment].
abstract: The authors describe an example of an aphasic syndrome peculiar to children. This syndrome, which has previously been described by several authors, is characterized by an unusual form of aphasia, by its association with epileptic attacks, and by its onset in the absence of any apparent aetiology. In such cases, the effectiveness of anti-epileptic treatment on the aphasia is variable, often quite poor; on the other hand, in the case described in this report, administration of anti-epileptic treatment was followed by spectacular regression of the aphasia.
