[EEG study of cervical migraine].

The authors carried out serial EEG investigations in 60 cases of cervical migraine. They demonstrated in 30% of cases normal EEG tracings; in the remaining 70% of cases the tracings were abnormal. The analysis of the latter cases suggests that there are two pathogenetically different groups of cervical migraine, i.e. "idiopathic" cervical migraine with normal or changed background activity in EEG and "symptomatic" cervical migraine with permanent bitemporal or disseminated changes of cerebral bioelectric activity.

[Recordings of spinal cord bioelectric currents in man].

The method of recording of bioelectric currents in the spinal cord used by the author in patients demonstrated similarities between the spinal and the cerebral bioelectric rhythms. In certain pathological processes, especially in spinal tumours, ESG changes were observed, particularly evident at the level of the lesion. The method of bioelectric activity recording in the spinal cord may be useful for early recognition and localization of spinal diseases.

[Allergologic aspects of epilepsy].

The author describes 6 cases in which an unquestionable temporal correlation was observed between the appearance of epileptic seizures and the action of certain allergens. Allergy is considered only rarely as a cause of epileptic seizures. The pathological mechanisms of such seizures seems to be a complex one. In some cases there is probably a direct influence of allergens or biochemical agents released by them on the central nervous system. Data from the literature and own observations show that not infrequently partial complex seisures appear in connection with allergy, besides generalized attacks. The former are frequently a response to the action of chemical and pharmaceutical allergens. Sometimes, anticonvulsants are the agents releasing epileptic seizures. The diagnosis of allergic epilepsy is facilitated by coexistence of local or systemic signs of allergy. The prognosis depends on early recognition of the cause of attacks and appropriate therapeutic management.
