[Disorder of the superior cortical function and vascular malformation: case report].
Learning disorders are commonly seen among neurologic outpatients. We present the case of a young male patient showing learning disabilities and headache of recent onset. His diagnostic evaluation performance in cortical function was poor, and tomographic and arteriographic changes of cerebrovascular malformation were found. The authors discuss the association of learning disorders and cerebral vascular malformations.
