[Electroencephalographic problems in newborn infants].

The authors present the results of electroencephalographic examinations performed at random in a group of 100 newborn "risk infants". Ordinary electroencephalograms were compared with those obtained by long-time polygraphic recording. It was found that ordinary electroencephalography was quite acceptable for the basic diagnosis of neurological diseases. The number of pathological curves on the electroencephalograms after the polygraphic recording was not greater than on ordinary encephalograms.
