    Notes: Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate temporal changes of stroke in an Italian community by comparing the present incidence rates with those reported in the same area for 1989. The two studies were conducted by the same research group and met almost all the criteria proposed for an “ideal” stroke incidence study. The annual incidence rate per 1000 inhabitants increased (p 〈 0.01) by 29% from 2.23 (95% CL, 1.96–2.50) in 1989 to 2.89 (95% CL, 2.58–3.20) in 1997. No statistically significant change was found when these rates were adjusted to the 1991 Italian population. The overall incidence rate was 2.40 (95% CL, 2.14–2.66) in 1989 and 2.65 (95% CL, 2.39–2.91) in 1997. The thirty-day case fatality rate declined dramatically (p 〈 0.001) from 31% (95% CL, 26– 36) to 20% (95% CL, 16–24) between 1989 and 1997. Ageing of the population and better identification of cases could explain the high incidence rate, whereas the decrease of fatality rate may be due to a general improvement in acute care and inclusion of milder cases.

    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario La sordità verbale pura à una sindrome di non frequente riscontro, inquadrata tra le forme di afasia, caratterizzata da sordità completa e conservata possibilità di comprendere e leggere il messaggio scritto, senza turbe espressive dell'eloquio. In genere il quadro clinico si presente associato ad altri deficit neurologici focali importanti e molto raramente, come nella nostra esperienza, in forma isolata. Viene descritto il caso di un uomo di 61 anni, cardiopatico, che ha presentato una sordità verbale pura in seguito a due episodi, ravvicinati nel tempo, di ischemia cerebrale acuta. Il paziente è stato studiato con tecniche di neuroimaging: TAC, SPECT (non sono presenti in tal senso dati in letteratura), RMN; e neurofisiologiche: EEG, BAER, Stapedial reflex. Le conclusioni sono esaminate alla luce dei dati e dei lavori presenti in letteratura.
    Notes: Abstract Pure Word Deafness is a clinical syndrome included among the aphasias and is marked by complete deafness of sudden onset with conserved ability to understand and read the written word and with no speech disorders. We report the case of 61 year old man in whom pure word deafness developed after two episodes of acute cerebral ischemia in quick succession. Neuroimaging procedures, that is: computed tomography scan, single photon emission computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, revealed the presence of two ischemic lesions in the temporal cortex bilaterally. Neurophysiological investigations (electroencephalogram, brainstem auditory evoked potentials and stapedial reflex) were also studied. We discuss the outcome of all these investigations in the light of the relevant published work.
