Seventy patients were follwed up by 2 years. Twelve (17%) were criptogenics and 58 (83%) symptomatics. In criptogenic group significantly more patients were in regular school classes and with normal motor development, better control of seizure, less tendency to evoluate to Lennox Gastaut syndrome and 83. 3% had control of spasms (72.4% of patients from symptomatic group had control of spasms). Adrenocorticotropic hormone and vigabatrin were the most efective drugs, with 68.75% and 60% of spasms control, respectivelly, when used as first line of therapy and 75% and 50%, respectivelly, as second line of therapy.

The patient had been hospitalized for eight times in the last sixty days because of seizures. At physical exam, she had a severe arterial hypertension (270/140 mmHg). The computerized tomographic scan and magnetic resonance imaging revealed hypodense areas, mainly on the right parietal-temporal region, suggesting presence of edema. The angiography showed stenosis of the right renal artery, that was the cause of arterial hypertension. After the control of arterial hypertension by nephrectomy, the patient had a complete remission of the symptoms, as well as the images anomalies.

Participaram do estudo 70 pacientes, acompanhados por período maior que 2 anos. Doze (17%) eram criptogênicos e 58 (83%) sintomáticos. O grupo criptogênico apresentou percentagem significativamente maior de pacientes que frequentavam escola regular e desenvolvimento motor normal, melhor controle das crises epilépticas, tendência menor a evoluir para síndrome de Lennox Gastaut e 83,3% tiveram controle completo dos espasmos (72,4% dos pacientes do grupo sintomático obtiveram controle completo dos espasmos). O hormônio adrenocorticotrófico e a vigabatrina foram as drogas mais eficazes, controlando 68,75% e 60% dos espasmos, respectivamente, quando utilizados como droga de primeira escolha e 75% e 50%, respectivamente, como drogas de segunda escolha.

As well as to establish the need of intervention. We evaluate 69 children, from Aline Picheth Public School, in Curitiba, attending first or second grade of elementary school, through general and evolutionary neurological examination, pediatric checklist symptoms, and social, linguistic and psychological (WISC-III, Bender Infantile and WPPSI-figures) evaluation. The incidence was higher in boys (84,1%), familiar history of learning disabilities was found in 42%, and writing abnormalities in 56,5%. The most frequent diagnosis was attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder, in 39,1%. With this program, we aimed to reduce the retention taxes and stress the importance of this evaluation, and, if necessary, multidisciplinar intervention in the cases of learning disabilities.
