A Statistical Inquiry Into the Nature and Treatment of Epilepsy
cent.
Thus when epilepsia mitior exists, in the majority of cases the attacks are of daily occurrence.
Loss of consciousness, as ascertained in a series of cases, was
| Complete in | 48.3 per cent. |
| Partial in | 51.6 per cent. |
Premonitory Symptoms.—These are not, as a rule, so well marked in epilepsia mitior as in E. Gravior; but frequently the aura is quite as distinctly appreciated. In the 28 per cent. of cases in which E. Mitior is associated with E. Gravior, the aura was apparently the same in both. Of the 10 per cent. cases of E. Mitior occurring by itself, the following is the record:—
| No aura in | 20 per cent. |
| Sensation in epigastrium in | 20 per cent. |
| Loss of speech in | 10 per cent. |
| Violent pain in head in | 10 per cent. |
| Tingling of extremities in | 10 per cent. |
| Choking sensation in | 10 per cent. |
| Hallucination in | 10 per cent. |
| Vertigo in | 10 per cent. |
The number of cases in E. Mitior is too limited to warrant further generalization.
