title: [Cerebral attacks in childhood and adolescence. Types, diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities (author's transl)].
abstract: General practitioners, pediatricians, welfare and school medical officers are frequently first confronted with cerebral attacks in childhood and adolescence. The diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities have been considerably widened in recent decades, they are more differentiated and more extensive. The prognosis of many attacks is therefore often favorable today. Close cooperation between the practitioner and specially equipped departments (neuropediatric and child psychiatric outpatients and clinics) is, however, indispensable for a successful therapeutic procedure and should be further intensified in the future. The phenomenology and incidence, frequency and age-dependence of childhood attacks are discussed and also the present state of diagnostic and therapeutic perspectives in general and hospital practice.
