Since the casual electroencephalographic examination of such patients in the interval between attacks frequently resulted in normal records, it was felt that a higher percentage of positive records could be obtained if the patients were hyperventilated during the examination. This expectation was borne out not only in petit mal epilepsy but also in grand mal, but, because of previously reported changes in the electroencephalogram produced...References1.
