Abstract

In order to study the state of cerebral hemodynamics and to investigate the electroencephalographic characteristics in children with closed traumatic brain injury, 114 patients were examined. The children were examined in 6.1±0.8 months after a traumatic brain injury. To determine cerebral hemodynamics, transcranial dopplerography was performed, the functional state of brain was evaluated according to electroencephalography. In the course of the study, it was noted that a disordered cerebral hemodynamics in children with moderate and severe brain contusion and its foci presence was accompanied by a rise in a linear velocity of blood flow, while its decrease was found at the same contusion, but that was severe and with the presence of subdural, subarachnoid and epidural hemorrhage. Signs of diffuse changes in bioelectrical activity of the brain were represented by a significant increase in an amplitude of the alpha rhythm in children with closed traumatic brain injury of moderate and serious severities compared to mild one. Key words: children, craniocerebral injury, electroencephalography, transcranial Doppler sonography, paroxysmal activity.
