title: [The clinical polymorphism of autonomic crises (panic attacks)].
abstract: Overall 42 patients with vegetative crises (panic attacks) were subjected to a clinico-psychopathological analysis. In the structure of the crisis together with 14 typical symptoms (in accordance with DM-III criteria), account was taken of 11 atypical symptoms represented by functional neurological phenomena ("chunk" in the throat, weakness in the limbs, mutism, loss of consciousness, and so forth). Depending on the correlation of the typical and atypical symptoms in the crisis 3 subgroups were distinguished. In subgroup A, the portion of the typical symptoms as regards the typical ones was less than 30%, in subgroup B, it was from 30 to 50%, and in subgroup C over 50%. The characteristic features of the crises and of the interparoxysmal period were compared in the above-indicated subgroups. The comparative analysis has demonstrated the same representation of the typical symptom-complex in all the three subgroups and allowed one to identify definite clinical features characteristic of each of the subgroups.
