Forty cases of paroxysmal aphasia were found in a sample of 4,000 patients with epilepsy. Twenty-five had structural brain damage demonstrated by CT scan. Except for two cases, the epileptic focus was located in the left hemisphere. Two patients had a paroxysmal alexia associated with the aphasic disorder. Though preliminary, our data suggest a correlation of dysphasic components with posterior lesions and phonatory components with anterior lesions.
