[Electroencephalographic study on experimental brain edema induced by triethyltinsulfate (author's transl)].

The electroencephalographic effects of several doses of a brain edema inducing agent, triethyltinsulfate (TET), was studied by implanted epidural electrodes in cats. The effect of TET on the central nervous system was found to have two phases: 1. a six hours' acute toxic phase following TET administration, 2. An edematic phase developing on the 2nd to the 4th day. Similarly to our earlier observations brain edema induced by TET was found to be dose-dependent, as shown by EEG-s, and their analysis performed by computation.
