Abstract
Our approach to the problem of brain damage in infancy and childhood is a bit different from that of some of the other contributors to this book. For we have had the opportunity to see what are presumed to be remote consequences, structural and behavioral, in a series of patients who have come to surgery in middle life with various patterns of intractable partial epilepsy. (8. 12) The seizure equivalent states and the electrical storms which have been shown to accompany them have been found characteristically associated with the temporal lobes of these patients (17) slightly more than half of whom have histories of difficult and prolonged deliveries or infantile febrile convulsions.
