[Hysterical hyperkineses]

A clinico-laboratory study has involved 42 patients with hysterical hyperkineses. The data obtained have made it possible to identify four stages of the diagnosis which are important fo clinical identification and differential diagnosis. Correlation between the pathogenetic mechanisms of hysterical hyperkineses and the mechanisms of the psychogenesis of hysterical neurosis has been demonstrated. The results obtained have made it possible to come closer to the understanding of the complex neurophysiological and psychophysiological substrate participating in the symptom formation of hysterical hyperkineses.
