The condition of central nervous system in patients with combined trauma during complex restorative treatment

The object of the study consisted in analyzing the dynamics of neurological status (by the data of neurological examination and electroencephalography) in 11 patients with combined trauma including fractures of limb bones and concussion of the brain in the process of treatment. Fractures were fixed with the Ilizarov devices and correction of the brain functional status was performed using the complex of generally accepted preparations of pathogenic action. It has been revealed during the study performed that EEG-changes remain longer than the focal neurological symptoms of hemispheres. This evidences the existence of long-preserved regulatory changes in the functioning of the brain and its stem structures through patients' compensated status. Moreover, it was found that most EEG-characteristics did not reach the level of normative values within the period of observation (up to 4 months after trauma), which the occurred skeletal injuries probably contributed to.
