[Clinico-psychological mechanisms of compensation for disorders of brain activities in patients with traumatic lesions of the polar-basal sections of the frontal lobes].

Twenty-five patients were subjected to surgical ablations of contused or crushed polar-basal regions of frontal lobes. Two groups were singled out: 1, compensated; and 2, subcompensated. "Lobar syndrome" which includes motor disorders and impaired psychic selectivity, planning, regulation and control of psychic activity and behavior, was to a several extent characteristic of all the patients. Posttraumatic disorders were compensated in group 1 due to a lack in complications and high intellectual level of the patients, both allowing to compensate the disorders in voluntary regulation of psychic activity and behavior.
