SUMMARY Treatment of 60 epileptic patients with α‐ethyl‐α‐methylsuccinimide (PM 671) during periods of 1.5 to 29 months showed that this compound is an important acquisition to the therapy of petit mal. In the case of patients who also suffered from generalized seizures, it was found that if the absences disappeared during treatment the generalized seizures also disappeared. RÉSUMÉ Le traitement de 60 malades épileptiques par α‐ethyl‐α‐méthylsuccinimide (PM 671) effectué pendant des périodes de 1.5 à 29 mois a révélé que cette substance est une importante acquisition dans la thérapie du petit mal. Dans les cas où les malades souffrent aussi d'attaques de grand mal on a constaté que si les absences disparaissent au cours du traitement, les attaques de grand mal disparaissent elles‐aussi.
