[Treatment of epilepsy with clonazepam (Antelepsin)].

Clonazepam (Antelepsin) was tested on 179 patients in 8 institutions during a period of 180 days. 169 patients had been unsuccessfully treated with the usual standard medication and were additionally given Antelepsin. Typical absences and attacks of the West and Lennox syndromes yielded best to treatment with the drug, with favorable effects also being produced in cases of partial or focal epilepsy. The most important side-effect was tiredness, other collateral effects being balance disorders, sensations of dizziness, and musuclar weakness. The frequency of side-effects decreased in the course of therapy. In the electroencephalogram there was observed a significant increase in beta waves and a significant decrease in 3 Hz spike and wave complexes.

[Postoperative psychical disturbances (author's transl)].

Abnormal psychical disturbances after surgical procedures may either be attributed to the experience of illness or to cerebral dysfunction, directly or indirectly including the brain in the process of the disease. The latter results in somatic psychotic states and "Durchgangssyndrom". The postoperative psychosis is not a nosological entity.

[Clinical and electroencephalographic follow-up of consciousness disorders].

A report is given of the experience gained in close-meshed neurological and electroencephalographic observations of unconscious patients suffering from acute and severe brain damage of different aetiology. Only in some cases can the neurological findings be assigned to the midbrain or bulbar brain syndromes - in our material this is possible only after skull-brain traumas and subarachnoid haemorrhage but least of all after hypoxic accidents and brain operations. The vegetative functions often show inconsistency and do not always correspond with the rest of the neurological findings. Selected examples are used to make an assessment of electroencephalography in the interpretation of severe and acute brain damage.
