Long-term investigation of a male case of Landau-Kleffner syndrome with auditory, verbal and non-verbal agnosia was performed clinico-electroencephalographically and neuropsychologically. Atypical absences and secondarily generalized tonic-clonic seizures were observed. The spike-wave index of slow wave sleep from all-night EEG recordings was 96% in this case. It was impossible to differentiate this case from epilepsy with "continuous spikes and waves during slow wave sleep (CSWS)" except the presence of auditory agnosia. Auditory agnosia of this case disappeared after antiepileptic therapy. It is suggested that Landau-Kleffner syndrome showing CSWS may have a good prognosis about agnosia from that of this case and others previously reported.
