THE PURPOSE of this communication is to report a series of 10 children who had abnormal electroencephalograms characteristic of the interictal epileptic state bu t who had not had any recognizable type of epileptic seizure a t the time of initial study. These 10 were selected from a group of one hundred and thirty children, all of whom had been referred for study and electroencephalograms because of behavior disorder or suspected mental retardation. In many cases, the referral was initiated by a school psychologist after testing suggested a n “organic” mental disorder. All electroencephalograms were performed with a standard Grass 8-channel machine. No sedation or activation technics other than spontaneous sleep were employed. The children were followed for periods u p to two years in the Pediatric Neurology Clinic of this hospital. Anticonvulsant drugs were prescribed for all children, and clinical observations of the effect of this therapy were recorded. T h e children, because of similarities in clinical features, were divisible into 3 groups, and their case histories, which follow, will be so arranged.
