There may be K.P. subluxations interfering with the process of elimination resulting in an accumulation of poison within the body, or there may be other subluxations resulting in the production of toxines within the body and these will produce an irritation of the nervous system resulting in convulsions. Disturbances in digestion, affections of the respiratory tract, a sudden rise of temperature and incoördinations involving the gastro-intestinal tract are often responsible for convulsions. Convulsions are quite frequent at the onset of acute dis-eases such as whooping-cough, measles and mumps. They are often associated with enlargement of the thymus gland. During the convulsion there may be loss of consciousness with tonic and clonic spasms in various degrees of severity. The urine may be voided and the bowels evacuated. In the very young infant a single attack may prove fatal, although this is rather unusual. When death occurs in this way it is most often due to asphyxia, or when the convulsions recur in rapid succession death will result from exhaustion. The clinical picture is quite typical. Usually there is pallor of the face which may be followed quickly with a twitching of the facial muscles, and sometimes those of the hands and feet. In most cases the attack comes on without warning; the eyes become fixed and rolled backward; the twitching usually begins in the face and very soon the entire body is involved. The face is distorted by muscular contractions, the head is drawn backward and the neck is thrown forward; there may be frothing at the mouth. The pulse is irregular and weak, the respiration is shallow and feeble while there is cold perspiration of the forehead and it may also be on the body. The thumbs are turned into the palms and the hands are tightly closed. There is rhythmical convulsive movements consisting of alternating flexion and extension. The attack usually lasts from a few minutes to half an hour and sometimes longer. The patient is left in a more or less state of exhaustion and the attack may be followed by stupor and coma. Very often convulsions in children over two years of age indicate the onset of some acute condition such as pneumonia or scarlet fever. However, convulsions may mean very little with small children that are extremely nervous. During the first few days of life they may be the result of temporary circulatory disturbances in the brain from prolonged pressure in difficult labor. Family All cases of convulsions are in the spasms family no matter with what other conditions they are associated. If there are other complications, and there usually are, the family for the complications will depend upon the functions involved. Major Adjustment
