Description
Summary:Eighty-nine patients of elderly and senile age with various forms of epilepsy have been examined. The general characteristic features of bioelectric brain activity of the elderly patients, suffering from epilepsy have been defined. Features of electroencephalographic (EEG) pictures depending on the form of the disease, age of debut, and expressiveness of cerebrovascular pathologies are revealed. It is shown that the survey of EEG in dynamics helps with the selection of adequate antiepileptic therapy and enables one to avoid strengthening cognitive deficiency.
