Popis: The report contains some results of clinical, biochemical and EEG studies convened in 24 children with convulsive attacks and in 34 children with organic lesions of the CNS and epileptiform syndromes. The authors point out to the important role of the diencephalic area in the pathogenesis of convulsive syndromes. Changes in the glucocortical functions of the adrenal system during the period of convulsive attacks are related to a disturbed regulation in the hypothalamo-hypophysar structure. The processes of readaptation are more disturbed in patients with organic lesions of the CNS in frequent attacks. The results of such studies speak of certain indications to hormone therapy in repeated convulsions in children, especially if the convulsions have an epileptiform character and occur in patients with organic lesions of the CNS.
