[Performance at school in children suffering of cerebral-convulsion-disease (author's transl)].

Investigations were performed into school-certificates of 226 school-children suffering of cerebral-convulsion-disease (Controlgroup 306 healthy children). Differences between the two groups were significant, the results of the ill children were worse than those of healthy. The differences increased to the elder children. Also in schools of backward children the school-certificates between children with and without cerebral convulsion diseases were very different. The influence of social factors is discussed, hints are given to improve the situation.

[Unilateral aplasia and hypoplasia of pulmonary artery in childhood (author's transl)].

In the light of 8 observations, made by the authors, vasoanomalies underlying the syndrome of the unilateral hyperlucent lung are discussed in their correlation to homolateral bronchial lesions. There were 3 cases with unilateral aplasia of the pulmonary artery in which the unilateral hyperlucency was found always on the healthy side. In these cases there was a normal bronchogram on both sides. The vascularization by the bronchial arteries causes characteristic changes both in the X-ray-picture and endoscopy. Hypoplasia of the pulmonary artery occurring simultaneously with hyperlucency of the affected side of the lung was found in five cases, 4 times in connection with homolateral, severe, diffuse deforming bronchitis and bronchiectases and 1 case with congenital bronchus stenosis. There is the opinion that besides a congenital form of the hypoplasia of the pulmonary artery a (virus?) --pneumonia, acquired in early childhood, can lead to a pulmonary hypoplasia and a bronchopulmonary dysplasia. The diagnosis can be made only after several special examinations performed in a multi-step system. The significance of the lung scintigraphy within the scope of this complex diagnostics is especially emphasized. Indication for surgery should be made very cautiously. Antibiotic long-term therapy and dsipensary care are considered to be essential.
