On the basis of a personal classification, the authors attempt to establish a correlation between the CAT scan and various forms of epilepsy. Although some results are entirely consistent, the authors find that in a fair number of apparently lesional forms of epilepsy the CAT detects approximately the same percentage of abnormalities in cases with a history of clear pathological antecedents as in those without such antecedents. In the light of this finding, the relation between the CAT record and the true cause of epilepsy is reconsidered.
