    Author: Hughes AP, Appleton RE, Hodgson J.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 1993 Jul; 107(7):623-4. PubMed ID: 15125283.
    Abstract:
    A young boy presented with loss of speech and behaviour disturbance and was thought to be deaf. He was subsequently found to have the Landau-Kleffner syndrome (LKS), or acquired aphasia with epilepsy. Children with this disorder commonly present to an audiology or ENT clinic. Early recognition is important to initiate supportive, speech and educational care.
