Evidence has been presented which not only substantiates the long accepted view as to the importance of heredity in idiopathic epilepsy but also tends to break down the distinction which until now has divided convulsive states into idiopathic and symptomatic varieties. Strauss, Rahm, and Barrera,1and Lowenbach2have demonstrated an increased occurrence of cerebral dysrhythmia among supposedly normal relatives of epileptics. Lennox, Gibbs and Gibbs3obtained abnormal tracings in 60 per cent of the relatives of 94 patients with convulsions and cerebral dysrhythmia, and found...References1.
