title: Ictal inner speech jargon.
abstract: We report on the case of a woman with jargon aphasic seizures who provided a careful written report of inner speech jargon occurring during her seizures. This inner speech jargon description is an unusual finding since in most aphasic disorders, patients also suffer from anosognosia. This case report may suggest that jargon could also involve inner speech and could be innerly detected as such. It provides an argument supporting the idea that common mechanisms may underlie both "overt" and "covert" production of jargon during aphasia.
