title: [Use of the hormonal preparation prephyson in the treatment of epilepsy in children and adolescents].
abstract: Children and adolescents suffering from epilepsy were treated with anticonvulsants and prephyson. The paroxysmal and psychopathological symptomatology showed positive changes, more remarkable as compared to those seen as a result of administering anticonvulsants alone, accompanied by the improvement of endocrine system function. The characteristic features of the clinical symptomatology and course of epilepsy requiring the use of hormonal drugs were defined.
