[Periarteriitis nodosa in children and mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome as causes of multifocal convulsions (propulsive petit-mal) (author's transl)].

On an infant with the classical signs of Kawasaki-disease (MLNS), in whom after a few days began to show distal demarcations on all four extremities due to arterial malperfusion. Parts of these extremities had to be resected. Histologic evaluation showed an infantile type of periarteriitis nodosa. Later on the child developed multifocal convulsions. The similarities of MLNS and IPN are discussed as well as cerebral vasculitis.
