[Diagnosis and course of convulsive states in children].

In 129 children convulsive states were examined with the use of a set of additional examination methods. The age structure of the convulsions and their course in young children are described. Different origin of the convulsive states is shown. The role of pre- and perinatal factors, mineral metabolism disturbances, infectious and other diseases, as well as of aggravated heredity is demonstrated. The importance of the premorbid background for the formation of the character and the course of the convulsive seizures in children, and for the formation of epileptiform syndrome is stressed.
