[Epileptic status in hemorrhage into the brain in hypertension]

The authors present a clinico-anatomical correlation of 3 cases with an epileptical status developing in the acute period of a hemorrhage stroke of hypertensive disease. The morphological examination, beside new hemorrhages in the hemisphere, revealed preceding focal and diffuse changes in the brain matter, due to a severe development of the hypertensive disease, brain traumas and disorders of brain circulation. It was established that the epileptical status appearing for the first time during the acute period of brain hemorrhages, has a complex mechanism. One of the conditions of its development is preceding focal and diffuse brain changes. Hemorrhages with oedema is a precipitating factor for a convulsive readiness of the brain.
