Rett's syndrome: a neurophysiological study.

Thirteen girls with Rett's syndrome were evaluated with wakefulness and sleep polygraphic records and EMG studies. The main EEG findings were paroxysmal activity during sleep, multifocal in younger and unifocal in older girls, and "pseudorhythmic flattening". In the opinion of the authors, the changes with age are related to evolution of the disease or maturational changes of CNS. The affectation of the peripheral nervous system was demonstrated in almost half the patients.

Intoxication caused by ingestion of rape oil denatured with aniline.

One hundred seventy children, 16 months to 14 years of age, were intoxicated by the ingestion of rape oil denatured with aniline. The most frequent findings were fever, itch, adenopathy, hepatomegaly, and varied exanthems. A few weeks after the onset of the disease, more than a third of the patients experienced a syndrome similar to scleroderma. After more than nine months, three patients were found to be seriously impaired. Two girls died of measles contracted during the course of the intoxication. Prednisone caused dramatic and rapid symptomatic relief.
