We studied a case of focal status epilepticus with aphasia as the sole manifestation, lasting 21 days. A 77-year-old woman developed aphasic seizures followed by aphasic status epilepticus 10 months after a left temporo-occipital hemorrhage. The diagnosis was made only after EEG, and seizures were stopped by anticonvulsant medication. Aphasic status epilepticus may be only a reflection of cerebral irritability, suggesting the possibility of a functional etiology for prolonged language disorders also in adults.
我们研究了一例以失语为唯一表现的局灶性癫痫持续状态，病程长达21天。一名77岁女性在左颞枕叶出血10个月后出现失语性癫痫发作，随后发展为失语性癫痫持续状态。仅通过脑电图检查后才做出诊断，抗惊厥药物使癫痫发作停止。失语性癫痫持续状态可能只是大脑兴奋性的一种反映，这表明成人长期语言障碍也可能存在功能性病因。
