Altered EEG pattern in aromatic hydrocarbon intoxication. A case report.

A case of acute intoxication after both cutaneous and inhalatory absorption of a mixture of organic solvents (toluene and benzene) is reported. The peculiarity of this case is represented by the abnormal EEG findings: paroxysmal slow waves at the beginning of the intoxication, persisting, although attenuated, days after the patient's complete recovery. Moreover, the fact that other investigations were normal gives further support to the significance of routine EEG recording in monitoring the involvement of CNS in cases of acute exposure to aromatic organic solvents.

Epilepsy in congenital lipodystrophy. Case report.

A case of congenital lipodystrophy complicated by complex-partial epilepsy is reported in a nine-year-old girl. The peculiarity of this rare case is represented by partial complex epilepsy with diffuse electroencephalographic alterations represented by a continuous seizure-like pattern that persisted unmodified despite the successful antiepileptic treatment. Although the etiopathology of lipodystrophy is, at present, still elusive, we hypothesize that the primitive dysfunction of lipidic metabolism plays a critical role in both determining central nervous system (CNS) alterations and the findings that characterized this extremely rare disease.
