- Aphasia, often linked to strokes or brain lesions, can also occur due to prolonged episodes of seizures known as status epilepticus, though this is rare.
- Six patients were studied who experienced prolonged aphasia, primarily linked to structural issues in the left hemisphere of the brain; only three had clinical seizures before or during the episodes.
