[Pneumoencephalography in the first year from the onset of epileptic seizures].
Pneumoencephalography was performed in 88 patients within the first year since their first epileptic seizure (of these, 53 were studied during the first 6 months). The control group comprised 31 patients with 12 to 30 months history of the seizures. Pronounced changes in the subarachnoidal space in 30 patients were found to be related to clinical signs and the disease history more closely than did the ventricular system pathology. The latter was generally considered to be a result of past ailments, not reflecting the course of the early stages of epileptic process. The pronounced subarachnoidal pathology proved to be an unfavorable prognostic sign. More close relation of the establishing epileptic process with the subarachnoidal changes could possibly confirm the cortical localization of the primary epileptic foci.
