Other Comments:
In my opinion this is an interesting paper. Just I would suggest to better specify what is the relationship between headache and aphasia, as no focal symptoms are part of a diagnosis of NDPH. Moreover as regard to the onset of pain, when was tho onset of the aphasia? If much later, this would mean that aphasia actually has nothing to do.

Best regards
