These cases were respectively investigated in relation to their clinical characteristics, psychological stress and the effects of the antiepileptics. In consequence, this study gave the following results : 1. EEGs in 10 cases were consisted of paroxysmal spike or sharp & wave complexes (3 cases), paroxysmal slow wave bursts (3 cases) and 6-14 Hz positive spikes (4 cases).2. All of them had abdominal pain, diarrhea and constipation. In addition to their gastrointestinal symptomes, frequently they had symptomes of autonomic or psychiatric disturbances.3. As their causal factors, psychogenic stress (3 cases) and somatic or environmental nonspecific stress (3 cases) were considered. In four cases. however, no causal factors were observed.4. The effects of antiepileptics were recognized in 6 cases.The pathognomonic characteristics of the diencephalic areas which might present the EEG-abnormalities were pointed as one of the etiological factors of this syndrome.It was also pointed out that EEG-examination could be one of the most important methods for research in to the cause of, or treatment for this syndrome.
