[The Landau-Kleffner syndrome].
The variable aetiology and complicated pathogenesis of aphasia during epilepsy in children cause many diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties. The authors describe two children with aphasia and epileptic seizures and with high titre of toxoplasma antibodies. The role of toxoplasmosis in this syndrome is discussed. The small number of publications on the Landau-Kleffner syndrome in the available literature, especially Polish, is stressed.

Landau-Kleffner syndrome--epileptic aphasia in children--possible role of toxoplasma gondii infection.
The association of unusual types of aphasia and epilepsy (Landau-Kleffner syndrome) has been described in three children. The children were 5 to 11 years of age and all have EEG abnormalities. Speech disorders appeared after epileptic seizures. No organic causes of the disease have been found in axial computed tomography. In all described cases the increased titer of IgG antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii has been observed. The authors suggest that the Toxoplasma gondii infection should be taken into account as a possible cause of Landau-Kleffner syndrome.
