This report describes a 14-year-old girl presenting with unilateral distal leg edema which developed on the basis of popliteal vein compression by a large osteochondroma of the distal femur. Excision of the osteochondroma relieved the venous obstruction, and the leg returned to normal. Lesions of tibial arteries and veins caused by osteochondromas of the distal femur are discussed.
Traumatic aphasia in children has been recognized as a distinct clinical pathology, differing from adult aphasia in symptomatology and course of recovery. The upper limit for complete recovery has been identified as age 10. However, there is a paucity of literature documenting recovery of children with traumatic aphasia. It is apparent that definitive statements of the upper age limit for complete recovery from traumatic aphasia in children cannot be made at this time. This article reviews the literature concerning traumatic aphasia and presents case information of a 10-year-old traumatic aphasic girl seen at the North Texas State University Speech and Hearing Center. The design, execution, and assessment of therapeutic interaction and the observed language abilities of the client are reported.
