The authors observed children aged 1 to 7 years without any signs of epilepsy in the anamnesis. The children were examined for headaches, memory deterioration, difficulties in the learning, some types of tics, stammering, and psychomotor disinhibition. Among them, a group of 35 children characterized by specific movements of the eye balls as was shown by estimation of oculomotor nerve functions (look anxiety, "falling look") were distinguished. EEG examinations discovered the peak-wave type complexes related to the signs of petit mal of the absence type. The conclusion is a precursor of paroxysmal conditions. It is recommended that adequate anticonvulsive therapy be initiated provided the symptom is identified together with the EEG changes.
作者观察了既往无任何癫痫迹象的1至7岁儿童。对这些儿童进行了头痛、记忆力减退、学习困难、某些类型的抽搐、口吃和精神运动性抑制方面的检查。其中，有一组35名儿童，通过动眼神经功能评估显示出眼球的特定运动（眼神焦虑、“下垂眼神”）。脑电图检查发现了与失神型癫痫小发作体征相关的峰波型复合波。结论是阵发性疾病的先兆。建议一旦识别出症状并伴有脑电图改变，即开始适当的抗惊厥治疗。
