Abstract:
It is reported about 2 patients in whom the decision on electroconvulsive therapy was rendered more problematic by proven organic defects of the brain or a seizure disease. In our opinion, the electroconvulsive therapy is, in exceptional cases, also practicable under these conditions after an exact risk-benefit analysis.
