[Electroencephalographic signs of compensatory reactions following stroke with location of the focus in the right and left cerebral hemispheres].

The authors studied 41 patients with acute disorders of cerebral circulation, a focus in the right hemisphere and 14 with foci in the left hemisphere. The traits of compensatory reactions were studied according to the background and functional EEG, depending upon the severity, stage, localization and lateralization of focal vascular brain lesions. The authors indicate to a rigidity of clinical and EEG changes in patients with right hemispheric localization of the focus which is explained by the authors by disturbances of the higher cortical functions in these patients.
