Een acuut vreemd sprekende man

A 61-year-old man presented to the emergency department with acute fluent but nonsensical speech and intact comprehension. Imaging showed a contrast-enhancing lesion near Wernicke’s area, suspect for an intracranial neoplasm, without signs of ischemia or hemorrhage. Suspecting focal epilepsy with conduction aphasia, symptoms resolved after anti-convulsive therapy.

Conflict of interest and financial support: none declared.
