Cyclic vomiting and recurrent abdominal pains as migraine or epileptic equivalents.

A retrospective method was used to estimate the incidence of recurring motion-sickness, cyclic vomiting and abdominal pain considered as different manifestations of a so-called periodic syndrome in 100 migraine sufferers, 100 epileptics and 100 control subjects in the pediatric age group. Such recurrent symptoms are significantly more frequent in those suffering from migraine than in the other two groups. Examination of subgroups of patients affected by particular forms of migraine (classical and common) and of epilepsy (generalized seizures, simple partial seizures, complex partial seizures) contributed little new to our understanding of the nature of periodic syndrome. It is concluded that the above symptoms of periodic syndrome should generally be considered as manifestations of a migrainous rather than of an epileptic disorder.

Cerebrospinal fluid IgG changes in subacute sclerosing panencephalitis in the various stages of the disease and during isoprinosine therapy.

The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of IgG and the separation of the CSF and serum proteins by isoelectric focusing (IEF) were studied in 5 patients with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE). Oligoclonal IgG fractions were found in the CSF of all the patients. The CSF IgG, IgG-Index and IgG SYN values were higher in the patients observed in the earlier than in those seen in the later stages of the disease. 1 of the 3 patients treated with isoprinosine presented a partial clinical remission accompanied by an increase in the parameters of intrathecal IgG synthesis.
