Seven children with clinically evident deafness not confirmed by objective audiometric tests, and an acquired language deficiency, presented marked paroxysmal anomalies on electroencephalogram tracings. The aphasia-epilepsy syndrome can only be recognized by routine electroencephalograms, conducted in such cases even when a history of epileptic attacks is not abtained.
