[Developmental study of the paroxysmal tracing in the full term neonate (author's transl)]

The development of the paroxysmal trace was studied in 13 full term neonates having presented with severe neonatal anoxia. The paroxysmal tracings according to the definition given by by Monod and Dreyfus-Brisac changed between the 10th and 15th days, the bursts of waves being more polymorphic and closer together but the paroxysmal component persisted. Further groups of anterior slow waves symmetrical and limited to the mid temporal region appeared. These patterns disappeared between the 2nd and 3rd month to make way for generalised spikes and resembling hypsarrhythmia beyond the third month.
