Abstract
The term congenital verbal auditory agnosia is proposed as a name for congenital word deafness in children. The clinical features that these children present are: (a) lack of speech or limited speech; (b) an ability to hear sounds combined with inability to comprehend words by the auditory route. The defect is apparently in the audito-psychic area or Wernicke's area. The unusual case of a child with congenital verbal auditory agnosia is described.Keywords
