摘要
Summary: Correlations were sought among neuroendocrine, psychopathologic, neuropsychological, and seizure variables in 16 male patients with limbic epilepsy. Plasma prolactin and luteinizing hormone levels were directly correlated with seizure frequency. Plasma prolactin was inversely correlated with thought disorder. Post hoc findings included a strong direct correlation between total plasma testosterone levels and aggression. These relationships may help to elucidate mechanisms related to interictal symptomatology in patients with limbic epilepsy. Se nan buscado las correlaciones entre variables neuroendocrinológicas, psicopatológicas. neuropsicológicas y ataques en 16 pacientes con epilepsía límbica. Los niveles plasmáticos de prolactina y de hormona luteinizante, se correlacionaron directamente con la frecuencia de los ataques. La prolactina plasmática se correlacionó inversamente con los trastomos de pensamiento. Los hallazgos posteriores incluyeron una fuerte correlación directa entre los niveles plasmáticos totales de testosterona y la agresión. Estos datos pueden ayudar a aclarar los mecanismos relacionados con la sintomatología interictal en enfermos con epilépsia límbica. Bei 16 männlichen Patienten mit einer limbischen Epilepsie (LE) wurde nach Korrelationen zwischen Endokrinium, Psychopathologie, neuropsychologischen Veränderungen und unter‐schiedlichen Anfallstypen gesucht. Das Plasma‐Prolaktin korrelierte umgekehrt mit Denkstörungen. Postiktale Befunde zeigten eine deutliche direkte Korrelation zwischen Gesamt‐Plasma‐Testosteron und Aggression. Diese Abhängigkeiten könnten Mechanismen aufdecken, die mit den intenktalen Symptomen bei Patienten mit limbischer Epilepsie zusammenhängen. Copyright © 1990, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
