Abstract

Little information is available about EEG-changes in children suffering from hydrocephalus of different origin. Only some data have been published about the incidence of epileptic seizures in children with myelomeningoceles (MMC) or encephaloceles (EC). For this reason we have analysed the charts of 202 patients treated for these diseases over a long period during hospitalisation or as out-patients.
