[Analysis of EEG, respiration, and ECG by 24-hour polygraphic study in a case of aortitis syndrome associated with epilepsy].

The relationships between electroencephalographic changes and cardio-respiratory responses were analysed by using 24 hour ambulatory simultaneous monitoring of EEG, respiration, ECG in a patient with aortitis syndrome. Circadian changes of "absence" attacks, effects of anti-convulsive drugs on epileptic attacks, and respiratory arrest and abnormalities of the cardiorespiratory integration were clarified.
