title: [Necrotizing herpetic encephalitis. Electro-clinical and pathological studies on two infantile cases (author's transl)].
abstract: The electroclinical and pathological features of two infantile cases of acute necrotizing herpetic encephalitis are reported. The distribution of the lesions has been compared with those observed in fourteen other cases including four with EEG records. Various electroencephalographic features have been recorded including repetitive slow spikes and periodic stereotyped paroxysmal discharges. The pathological data are interpreted to attempt unravelling the physiopathology of the EEG features.
