title: [Autonomic asthenia syndrome in children with primary and secondary generalized epilepsy (clinico-encephalographic data)].
abstract: Clinical and physiological correlations were carried out on the basis of an analysis of clinical studies of vegetative dystonia (VD) and the general initial vegetative tone with determination of the mean percentage of the dominant activity, the dystonia ratio and the index of vegetative deviation devised for the first time and on the basis of studying interrelations between the synchronizing and desynchronizing systems according to the EEG readings. There were 107 children suffering from primary and secondary generalized epilepsy and 30 normal children of the same age. The patients with primary generalized epilepsy demonstrated the predominance of the activating influences of the reticular formation on brain bioelectric activity as compared to patients with secondary generalized epilepsy. This correlates with the data on the general initial vegetative tone and the clinical manifestations of VD. According to these data, the sympathetico-tonic manifestations were predominant in patients with primary generalized epilepsy, whereas the parasympathetic ones in those suffering from secondary generalized epilepsy.
