[Autonomic dysfunction in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy].
In 102 patients with temporal epilepsy autonomic (tone, responses, effectiveness) and sympathoadrenal (urine excretion of catecholamines and its changes under effects of epinephrine, insulin and L-DOPA administration) systems were investigated. Some of the indices under study showed reliable correlations with clinical data. Pronounced alterations of autonomic functions were found. The data suggest an important role of catecholamines in the pathogenesis of temporal epilepsy.
