[Epileptic paroxysms in Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis].

The paper is concerned with an analysis of the character, rate, outcomes and etiology of paroxysmal conditions in 18 children suffering from Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis. The paroxysmal conditions were recorded in 22.5% of cases. This exceeds the populational data and the data reported in the foreign literature. Perinatal pathology was noted to play an important role (89% of cases) in the development of the convulsive syndrome. A well-defined tendency towards a favourable outcome and polymorphism of the clinical picture (generalized attacks /54.5%/, focal /22.7%/, and non-classified ones /22.7%/ were also marked.
