Extract

IN 1935 V. V. Issahyev reported very favourable results from the treatment of a number of cases of idiopathic epilepsy by diathermy to the head, stating that although the method could not be held to cure the complaint, nevertheless it produced considerable relief in the majority of cases. The object of the present investigation has been to repeat this form of treatment in a further series of cases in order to see how far these results could be confirmed.
