The paper describes four cases of periodic psychosis in children. The author's conclusions are as follows: Periodic psychosis in children gives the same clinical forms as in adults, allowing for a circular, manic-depressive and monotonous periodic course. Judging by our cases, stuporous states develop quite easily, both in the manic and in the depressive stage.
