Abstract
A thirteen-year-old boy with nominal aphasia caused by simple partial status epilepticus is described. The aphasia disappeared with intraven ous diazepam and has improved on oral carbamazepine. His epilepsy is p robably secondary to the cranial irradiation and intrathecal methotrex ate that he received as treatment for his Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemi a at the age of nine.
