The Landau-Kleffner syndrome or acquired epileptic aphasia is a rare pediatric epileptic syndrome occuring in children who have already developed age-appropriate speech. It is characterized by a marked deterioration of language functions associated with clinical seizures and epileptic abnormalities in electroencephalogram. Hereby a case of six year old boy is presented, who was admitted to the hospital with seizures and aphasia. He was diagnosed as a case of Landau keiffner syndrome on the basis of detailed case history, clinical signs and symptoms as well as epileptic findings on electroencephalogram. He was treated with steroids. He responded well to high dose corticosteroid therapy and was followed up for 30months. In this case, a close relationship between language functioning, paroxysmal EEG activity and the effect of steroid therapy on these abnormalities was observed.
