[Epileptic syndromes in ascariasis and enterobiasis].

In one case intestinal parasitism aggravated the development of frontal epilepsy. It was demonstrated that the removal of helminths leads to an arrest of convulsive seizures, while a new infestation--to their appearance. The authors have attemped to give characteristics of the epileptical syndrome, provocated by ascarides and seat-worms.
