1In an aselective group of 107 patients who clinically showed absences (petit mal), grand mal, or a combination of petit mal and grand mal, with EEG paroxysms of bilaterally synchronous spike-wave complexes in all cases, and who were all given Ethosuximide, the influence of this drug on the grand mal seizures was studied.The anti-epileptic medication of none of these patients was exclusively Ethosuximide.2In the 32 patients with a history of absences only, no instance of grand mal ...

1.1. In the nembutalized or curarized cat, the injection of subconvulsant doses of Metrazol produces a state in which single acoustic or visual stimuli evoke bilateral myoclonic twitches.2.2. After ablation of the motor cortex on one side, the myoclonic response becomes asymmetrical, being completely or partially suppressed on the side contralateral to the ablation.3.3. After ablation of the motor cortex bilaterally, the myoclonic response is suppressed, but reappears bilaterally after ...

Treatment of 60 epileptic patients with α-ethyl-α-methylsuccinimide (PM 671) during periods of 1.5 to 29 months showed that this compound is an important acquisition to the therapy of petit mal.

In the case of patients who also suffered from generalized seizures, it was found that if the absences disappeared during treatment the generalized seizures also disappeared.

There is a generally known interaction between epilepsy and social environment. The influence of this interaction on the epileptic child can become manifest in behaviour and adjustment, and in the frequency of seizures.

In this connection, family and school are discussed as the main constituents of the background of childhood epilepsy.

A few remarks are made on the organization of management and treatment.

Il y a une action réciproque bien connue entre l'épilepsie et le milieu social. ...
