title: [EEG in children with spinal muscular atrophy].
abstract: EEG curves were evaluated in 40 children with spinal muscular atrophy. The compared group comprised 81 boys with Duchenne's dystrophy in the same age group. In the children with muscular spinal atrophy the EEG was considered abnormal for age in 42% of cases. The type of EEG changes might suggest bioelectric immaturity. In Duchenne's dystrophy the proportion of children with abnormal EEG records was 70%, and the changes were mostly focal.
