[Study of epilepsy by computer controlled transverse axial tomography of the brain].
The value of computerized azial tomography of the encephalon is considered:--Firstly, in relation to the different electro-clinical varieties of epilepsy (essentially primary, secondary and partial) where it provides information of a high degree of precision concerning the topography, frequency and size of morphological abnormalties of the encephalon.--Secondly, in relation to the various aetiological possibilities (tumour, post-traumatic, post-ischaemic, post-infective, et cetera). This new method is of considerable to specify an aetiology almost unknown up to the present time: post-ischaemic occipital porencephaly secondary to perinatal or infantile occlusion of the posterior cerebral artery.
