Athetosis with epilepsy
Cases of cerebral palsy with athetosis, according to Freud's, are almost never combined with epilepsy, and therefore, once such a combination occurs, it is not without interest to dwell on it.
There is currently a patient in the Odessa Psychiatric Hospital who suffered from unilateral cerebral palsy in childhood, then a few years later she developed involuntary movements in the paralyzed half of the body, and this was eventually joined by seizures of epilepsy. Such a triad of symptoms is undoubtedly of the same origin, and allows some conclusions to be drawn regarding the localization of athetosis and epilepsy.
