The authors report two cases of patients with word deafness. The word deafness occurred after a head injury for the first patient and after an arterio venous malformation embolization for the second patient. MRI demonstrated bilateral lesions of the inferior colliculi but brainstem auditory-evoked potentials (BAEP) were within normal limits. These cases demonstrated that lesions involving the two inferior colliculi induced pure word deafness but do not affect BAEP.
