The possible role of cerebral birth injury in the aetiology of epilepsy was evaluated by comparing the birth histories of 101 epileptic patients with focal seizures and 208 with non-focal seizures. The former were smaller at birth and their mothers were older and had higher blood pressures than the mothers of the latter. Although the two groups did not differ significantly with regard to the frequency of breech birth, assisted vaginal breech deliveries were significantly more numerous in the focal group. The injured half of the brain was as often pressed against the sacrum as against the symphysis during birth.
通过比较101例局灶性发作癫痫患者和208例非局灶性发作癫痫患者的出生史，评估了脑产伤在癫痫病因学中的可能作用。前者出生时体重较轻，其母亲年龄较大且血压高于后者的母亲。虽然两组在臀位分娩频率方面无显著差异，但局灶性发作组的辅助阴道臀位分娩明显更多。出生时，大脑受损的一侧靠向骶骨和靠向耻骨联合的情况一样常见。
