[Aphasia in children and adolescents: evolutive aspects].
Reported observations of acquired aphasia in children contain all the symptoms and syndromes that have been described in adult aphasiology. Recovery of colloquial language is good even if anomia and verbal memory deficits persist as the most frequent defects. At long term outcome there are serious difficulties in dealing with written material and in academic performance in most patients.
