[Tetany in autonomic vascular dystonia in children].

The results of examining patients aged 10 to 15 years suffering from vegetovascular dystonia (VVD) associated with the tetanic syndrome (TS) are provided. Patients with VVD not associated with the TS, and healthy patients of the comparable age made up the control. Use was made of the electrophysiological techniques (EEG, EMG, REG), vegetological methods (background, reactivity, activity support), neuropsychological (MMPI, Spielberger and Izenk tests), polygraphic and biochemical methods. The authors describe a number of disease characteristics (predominance of the latent forms of the TS, the normal calcemic pattern of tetany, etc). Emphasize the role of nongross lesions of the nonspecific integrating brain systems in the genesis of the given syndrome determined by perinatal injury to the brain.

[Clinical picture and pathogenesis of Rulf's purposeful convulsion].

Four RIC patients were subjected to combined clinical neurological, electrophysiological, psychological and biochemical investigation. Besides typical of RIC unilateral tonic convulsions in sudden and unprepared movements, several new clinical features were described including selective psychoclonic and voluntarily elicited convulsions and neurogenic tetany. Additional data point to substantial disorders in the integrative action of the median brain structures. The authors suggest that the disease is based upon the pathologic excitation irradiation from cortex to subcortical and brainstem areas with limbic-reticular dysfunction and secondary neurogenic tetany (with normal blood calcium content) playing the major roles. This notion provides a pathogenic basis for designing the effective therapy.
