[Autonomic disorders in children with hyperthermic and affective-respiratory convulsions].
The vegetative tone, vegetative reactivity in the Dagnini-Aschner parasympathic test, and vegetative provision of functions in the orthoclinostatic test as described by Vien et al. were determined on the basis of cardiovascular parameters (blood pressure, heart rate) in a group of 5-year-old children with hyperthermal (n = 44) or affective-respiratory (n = 21) convulsions. The children with hyperthermal convulsions showed an increase in the sympathic tone and hyperfunctional manifestations. Elevated vegetative reactivity was observed in these patients. In contrast, the children with affective-respiratory convulsions presented instability of both systolic and diastolic pressure and a higher pulse rate in head-down tilt test, as compared to normal subjects. This indicates insufficient development of the vegetative regulation mechanisms.
