| Abstract: | No doctor can be in practice for long before meeting with cases of convulsions in infants or young children. It is, of course, common knowledge that these have a special tendency to convulsions although the reason is obscure. Some' authors have attributed this tendency of the lack of a properly developed myelin sheath in the brain tissue, others to greater permeability of the infantile cerebral capillaries leading, under appropriate conditions such as fever, to cerebral edema. As the child grows this predisposition to convulsions appears to wane and is exceptional after the third year of life. |
