Brain stem origin of these symptoms was presumed. Electroencephalographic recordings usually did not show any paroxysmal discharges. 328 patients were found in the available literature including 9 patients of ours. The seizures were classified by their appearance. Tonic or dystonic, sensory, algetic, ataxic and akinetic-atonic fits were distinguished. The dystonic variety includes the \"paroxysmal kinesiogenic choreoathetosis\". The \"paroxysmal dysarthria and ataxia\" was subsumed under the ataxic type. By etiology, seizures were grouped into the cryptogenic and the symptomatic type. The symptomatic variety is frequently caused by multiple sclerosis, and rarely by tumours of the basal ganglia or by vascular disorders. Cranial computertomography showed subcortical lesions in three out of seven patients. In one case cerebral atrophy was found. All types of seizures respond very well to antiepileptic drugs. The prognosis is favourable with the cryptogenic type and unfavourable with the symptomatic variety depending on the underlying disease.</p>","PeriodicalId":75864,"journal":{"name":"Fortschritte der Neurologie, Psychiatrie, und ihrer Grenzgebiete","volume":"47 10","pages":"538-49"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"11474275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I could not find anything about her in psychiatric literature, but there are numerous biographical hints in books on history dealing with the dramatic episode of the short-lived Mexican empire.

More or less characteristic features are to be expected in the angiogram; they might harden the suspicion of collagen disease, although they are not likely to prove its diagnosis. An interpretation of the radiological findings should--in addition to the morphology--primarily take into account the distribution type of the vessel wall lesions. Clinically as well as by means of angiography it is difficult to differentiate between collagen disease and cerebral arteriitis of different aetiology; this applies particularly to the alterations in cases of embolic circumscribed encephalitis in sepsis lenta.
