[Identification of temporal epilepsy in children: contribution of sphenoidal electrodes].

The authors have evaluated the indications, method and results of utilising sphenoidal electrodes in epilepsy. This method makes it possible to study the hippocampal area which cannot be studied by extra-cranial electrodes. It also localizes in the temporal lobe complex seizures without investigation by an electroencephalogram, or with a non-specific electroencephalographic picture. Thus, sphenoidal electrodes enable temporal seizures to be identified and localized, leading to more specific neuroradiological exploration, and therefore to the selection of patients for specific surgery.

[Vertex spikes in newborn infants in acute cerebral anoxia. Prognostic value].

The authors report 10 cases of newborns with neonatal hypoxic encephalopathy and presence of spikes in the vertex area on EEG. Evolution was characterized by the onset of a spastic paraparesy with frontal atrophy on CT scan examination and disappearance of the spikes after 2 months of age. This graphic pattern is usually absent in neonatal anoxic encephalopathy. Vertex spikes thus appear to have a prognostic value in neonates with brain anoxia.

[Multiple sclerosis in children. Impact of memory disorders].

Three cases of multiple sclerosis, characterized by disorders of superior functions such as memory loss, either isolated (1 case) or as part of a frontal syndrome (2 cases) are reported. The importance of these disorders, often presenting as the main symptoms, their good prognosis and their rarity in adulthood are underlined. From a pathophysiologic point of view, the authors discuss the role of the frontal, near the limbic area, localization of the plaques.
