[The differential diagnosis of Kozhevnikov's epilepsy].

Based on the data of a comprehensive examination of 40 patients with Kozhevnikov's epilepsy, 24 with hyperkinesis epilepsy (Sokolianskiĭ-Kliuchikov syndrome), 10 with myoclonus epilepsy (Unverricht-Lundborg syndrome) and 6 with cerebellar myoclonic dyssynergy, the most informative differential diagnostic criteria were distinguished. Their use will make it possible to determine one or another above-indicated disease entity more reliably. The structure of the paroxysmal syndrome and the character of myoclonic hyperkinesis are determined by dissimilar involvement into the pathological process of the cortical, subcortical, stem and cerebellar structures.
