Abstract: Among those patients conventionally classified under the category of ‘bladder neurosis’, there are, though in indefinite numbers, patients who have paroxysmal arhythm in their EEG, that is, patients who have diencephalic epilepsy (Gibbs) or epilepsy of brain-stem (Shimoda), i. e., so-called primary epileptic equivalent. These latter patients can be classified into two groups, (1) those who have no organic irregularities urologically but feel in their brain as if they had such disorders, and (2) those who have originally a defective diencephalon, but whose complex symptoms are brought about by some psychological provoking causes, such as trauma or unclean sexual intercourse, their diencephalons defect having no direct relation with their bladder symptoms. We should like to add, that there have been many who did not show any irregular EEG findings among those patients who have conventionally been classified under the category of ‘bladder neurosis’.
