[Follow-up examinations of long-term hospitalized patients with seizures].
Clinical, neurological, hematological, chemical, roentgenological, and bioelectrical results obtained from a total of 28 hospitalized male sufferers of epilepsy were compared, within a catamnestic period of 5 years, with data reported in the literature. Combination therapy resulted in freedom from attacks in 50% of the patients. Symptoms of cerebellar lesions were observed to develop in about 60% of the cases where therapeutical doses were used for treatment. Major changes in the blood picture, hepatic lesions, or disturbances of ossification could not be observed. From the results obtained in these studies conclusions are drawn for the long-term therapy of epileptics.
