A four year old boy presented three epileptic seizures of psychomotor type; immediately after he began to show a progressive and rapid dissolution of speech, until he became completely aphasic after few weeks. Since then, repeated EEG examinations have always shown anomalies of epileptic type, located on the left hemisphere, at times on the right, at times bilaterally asynchronous. The neurological, psychic, audiological, chemical-biological and neuro-radiological (bi-lateral carotidogram and penumoencephalogram) exams did not show any other anomalies. After an observation period three years, the AA. underline the following evolutive aspects of the case: 1) The aphasic syndrome is on the way to slow improvement both in its expressive component and in its perceptive component. The recovery of speech seems to follow, with a slower rhythm, the stages of acquisition of the speech in the normal subject. 2) Diversely from other cases of the literature, no positive correlation exists between the gravity of the aphasic syndrome and that of the EEG anomaly: they have worsened while the disturbance of the speech have partially regressed.
