The results of the multiple-modality treatment of epilepsy in 56 children of different age with the use of thiopental-sodium are presented. It has been shown that its early administration to children with a true status epilepticus makes it possible to faster bring the patient out of the pathologic condition as compared to the conventional methods of treatment. In patients with a symptomatic epistatus and in children with marked residual-organic cerebral insufficiency associated with the development of convulsions anticonvulsive therapy should be combined with the treatment of the underlying disease aimed at the correction of extra- and intracranial homeostasis.
