Patterns resembling tracé alternant in quiet sleep of an adult.

An 18-year-old man with lymphoma and Listeria meningitis developed a pattern similar to tracé alternant during quiet sleep. This is a pattern normally seen in the neonate during quiet sleep and probably represents diffuse brain disturbance of both cortical and deep gray matter if occurring in the adult, as with other discontinuous or burst-suppression patterns.

Active noncompliance as a cause of uncontrolled seizures.

A 26-year-old woman with intractable seizures and fluctuating plasma phenytoin concentrations is described. Noncompliance with prescribed drug regimens was suspected. Phenytoin was first given as a capsule and then as an elixir. Ingestion of the capsule was monitored, and active non-compliance was proved and admitted by the patient. The causes of inadequate plasma phenytoin concentrations are few and can be determined either by specific laboratory methods or by changing the form of the drug.
