title: [Level of myoglobin in serum of patients with epilepsy after generalized tonic-clonic seizure].
abstract: In 11 patients with epilepsy serum myoglobin level determinations were performed by the RIA method 10 minutes, 1 hour, 4, 12, and 24 hours after tonic-clonic seizure and were compared with myoglobin concentrations in a group of 30 healthy persons. A statistically significant increase of myoglobin concentration was shown already in the first hour after the seizure with maximal level, almost five times exceeding the baseline level in the fourth hour, and slightly lower--four times exceeding the baseline--12 hours after the seizure. The correlative studies, comparing the profile of myoglobinaemia with the clinical picture (duration of the disease, age and sex, presence or lack of EEG changes, type of therapy used) showed no statistical significance.
