Abstract:
Different types of aphasia resulting from stroke, as well as their anatomical correlates, are well characterized. In contrast, the literature on ictal aphasia is relatively scant. A 58-year-old woman had 4 times of transient motor aphasia. No other behavioral abnormalities and focal sensorimotor neurological deficits were revealed. Brain MRI showed a small meningioma at the left sphenoid ridge. Electroencephalogram showed occasional sharp waves on the left inferior frontal area. We report a rare case of ictal aphasia associated with meningioma.
