[Visual evoked potentials in cerebral contusions]

The authors carried out neurophysiological examination of 70 patients with mild and moderate degree contusion on the convex surface of the brain by the method of induced visual potentials. Changes in the amplitude-time characteristics of visual induced potentials were revealed, which is evidence of pathophysiological changes in the brain limbico-reticular structures. Study of the induced makes it possible to reveal the character and side of the injury in early periods and guide pathogenetic treatment.
