[Benign infantile epilepsy].

The authors describe clinical and electroencephalographic analysis of 23 cases of banign infantile epilepsy. The characteristic features of seizures, the clinical course, and the EEG findings with presence of spikes and/or spikes and slow waves in leads from the motor and midtemporal areas are discussed. Frequent influence of factors releasing the first and subsequent seizures and a history of risk factors during pregnancy, and perinatal period, and early acquired predisposition were demonstrated. Follow-up showed that seizures disappeared at the age of puberty. All observations suggest the possibility of separation of benign infantile epilepsy as a particular form of this disease.

[Problem of epilepsy prevention in children with abnormal EEG tracings following cranial trauma].

In the analysed material of 248 children with past craniocerebral trauma epilepsy developed in 25 cases (10%). In the group of post-traumatic epilepsy seizures developed twice as frequently after severe trauma than after light trauma. In EEG investigations in the group with light trauma the observed changes included slowing down of background activity, focal changes or lateralization as the only finding. In the group of severe trauma the EEG changes included slowing down of background activity with associated lateralization or focal changes. In the group of children with epilepsy following severe trauma the same changes were found in EEG curves prior to development of seizures. The authors believe that changes of this type may predict manifestation of epilepsy and may be regarded as sufficient for prophylactic treatment with anticonvulsants.
