title: [Prevention of secondary neurotic and other mental disorders in traumatic epilepsy].
abstract: A study was made of the effect of risk factors and the clinical picture of the prodromal period in 184 patients with traumatic epilepsy, of the efficacy of nootropic and long-acting psychotropic drugs in combined treatment. The risk factors were brain contusions, open cranial injuries, particularly in frontotemporal areas, comatose states after injury lasting over 6 hours, successive fits in the acute period of injury, episodic disorders of dull consciousness. Administration of nootropic and long-acting drugs brought about a reduction of the cerebral asthenic symptomatology and stabilization of emotional disturbances which promoted prevention of secondary neurotic and other mental disorders in patients with traumatic epilepsy.
