[EEG follow-up studies following posttraumatic apallic syndrome in children].
Seventeen children, who had sustained craniocerebral traumata with posttraumatic apallic syndromes, were examined electroencephalographically for an average period of six years. Until incipient clinical remission of the apallic syndrome, the electroencephalographic results correlated essentially with the clinical picture; later on, there was observed only a relatively loose correlation between the electroencephalogram and the neurological or psychic condition. Despite serious and irreversible brain damage, complete normalization of the electroencephalogram could be observed in individual cases.
