[Side effects of bilateral electroconvulsive therapy--comparative clinico-computer tomographic study].
The side effects of a five-times bilateral electric shock therapy were clinically and computer-tomographically investigated. A connection exists between the number of electric shock treatments which are carried out and the expression of a transitory organic psychosyndrome. However, no significant differences in relation to the initial findings were established a week after the completion of the treatment series despite great interindividual differentiation. Neither cerebral oedema or other signs of disturbances were computer-tomographically detectable as results of treatment. CT and clinic findings do not correspond to each other.
