Popis: The article described one of three cases of a rare syndrome of acquired infantile acute epileptic aphasia. The course of clinical, pedagogical and electroencephalographical signs were analyzed. Besides a severe speech defect caused by sensomotor aphasia, the female patient had generalized tonic-clonic convulsions. EEG featured the changes typical of the Lennox-Gastaud syndrome. The steady nature of the defect was apparently related to the spread of paroxysmal activity over both hemispheres with preponderant involvement of the left temporal region.
