[The Landau-Kleffner syndrome: a special form of acquired childhood aphasia].
The syndrome of "acuqired aphasia with convulsive disorder" occurs in children between 3 and 7 years of age and is characterized by a language disorder with heterogeneous epileptic manifestations. The pathogenesis is unknown. The course can show marked fluctuations. Our study of 6 children shows that the outcome can range from extremely unfavorable to complete recovery. The variables that possibly influence the course are discussed.
