  1. One of the delights of the Kusadasi meeting of the European Paediatric Neurology Association was Rob Rust from Virginia imitating a female child neurologist reciting her study of 20,000 individuals in whom breast feeding was related to migraine. Rust: ‘Did you see all 20,000?’ Answer: ‘Questionairre!’
    A problem with the convulsive status epilepticus (CSE) study was that prospective though it may have been, the authors don’t seem to have seen the children convulsing and don’t have videos of the convulsions so that others may give their opinion on what was happening. CSE in infants and toddlers is commonly clonic not tonic-clonic and is only called ‘tonic-clonic’ because the observers don’t know an alternative description.
