Abstract:In spite of the considerable attention which has been devoted to the effect of epilepsy on the cerebral circulation, relatively little serious study with the methods of mechanical recording at present available has been made of the general circulation during an attack. It is particularly desirable to have concrete evidence as to the state of the peripheral circulation during a seizure so as to interpret the local vascular changes observed in the brain.
