title: [Central deafness without aphasic disorders due to bilateral temporal lesion].
abstract: The authors report the case of a 68 years-old man with two strokes with an interval of 12 years in each hemisphere. In the last one, the patient presented total and persistent central deafness without any aphasic disorders, except verbal comprehension interference due to the deafness. During the first weeks he also had complex auditory hallucinations. Computerized tomography showed alterations suggesting old bilateral temporal lobe infarctions.
