The clinical and electroencephalographic finding of 21 children with abdominal epilepsy are analised. There is inquestionably an overlopping between the clinical syndrome of abdominal epilepsy and cerebral pathology. The EEG is usually abnormal and often shows the "14 and 6 per second dysrhythmia" which is an indication of abdominal epilepsy. In basis of experimental and clinical evidence it seems probable that the state of activity of the gastro-intestinal tract is under cerebral cortex and lower centers influence.
