Abstract
We studied eight children with acquired aphasia. All had left hemisphere lesions. In most, the correlation between the CT lesion site and the resulting aphasic syndrome duplicated an anatomic-clinical correlation described in adults. Rapid recovery of language fluency distinguished the children from reported adults. Late follow-up indicated poor scholastic achievements, reflecting an acquired handicap in new learning. Anatomic-clinical correlates and recovery patterns suggest that brain organization for language is similar but not identical in children and adults.
