[Comparison between the informative value of electroencephalography and cranial computer tomography in childhood epileptic seizures].

Using electroencephalography and cranial computerized tomography, the authors examined 100 infants and young children suffering from epileptic attacks. The children were divided into three groups: the first one comprised children with grand mal epilepsy, the second those with focal fits and the third those with paroxysms of myoclonic convulsions. The EEG and CT findings were coded according to their diagnostic value as to the presence of the epileptic process.

[Structural changes in the brain in transient cerebral circulatory disorders detected in vivo by using computerized axial tomography and radioisotope cerebral scintigraphy].

Computer-aided axial tomography and radioisotopic (with 99mTc) scintigraphy of the brain were used for examining 54 patients with transient cerebral circulation disturbances, the clinical manifestations of which subsides within a period of less than 24 hours. In 28% of the patients, structural changes in the brain were revealed. The computer-aided tomography appeared to be more informative for their discovery, than the radioisotopic scintigraphy.
