100 aphasic patients were examined with a scorable aphasia battery looking at the frequency of various aphasia types and the possible specificity of clinical pictures in deep‐seated lesions. One month after onset, “atypical” aphasiological syndromes proved to be rare and to have the same frequency in patients with cortico‐subcortical or capsulostriatal deep‐seated lesions. In the latter condition, no specific clinical syndrome was brought out, although verbal comprehension disorders were usually less severe than in cortico‐subcortical lesions.
