[Unexplained electrographic temporal discharges (author's transl)].

Unilateral or bilateral electrographic temporal discharges at 5 Hz were analyzed in relation to their morphological characteristics, their topography, and their evolution in II subjects. The clinical context, in which there was no evidence of epileptic disorder, was also analyzed. These discharges were compared to other infraclinical critical phenomena reported in the literature, and related to similar manifestations described by the Gibbs "school" as "Psychomotor variant type of discharge", or by Hughes group as "Rhythmic mid Temporal discharges".

[Cerebral distress in the infant (author's transl)].

The authors using a E.E.G. laboratory not specialised in infant recordings, analysed the serial E.E.G. data in 8 infants presenting variable degrees of cerebral distress. In 2 cases not ventilated artifically and who finally died, the tracings were characterized by periodic activity in the occipital region similar to that seen in the isolated cerebral cortex. Autopsy revealed significant hydrocephalus with porencephaly and preservation of a narrow band of histologically normal occipital cortex. The authors observations of variable evolution illustrate some well known facts and in particular the importance of serial high quality E.E.G. tracings during the neonatal period to assist accurate prognosis and to repeat the tracing over the ensuing months.
