title: [Basic criteria for evaluating the clinical variants of aggressive behavior disorders in epileptics].
abstract: On the basis of the case histories of patients suffering from epilepsy with aggressive manifestations and an analysis of reported data the authors describe a syndrome of aggressive behavioural disturbances (ABD) in epileptics and the basic criteria for evaluating the numerous clinical variants of this syndrome which may be divided into the following groups: (1) criteria for assessing the degree of severity of the ABD clinical course; (2) criteria for assessing the function of patients with ABD; (3) criteria for assessing the relationship between ABD and other clinical manifestations of epilepsy. The use of these criteria makes it possible to (a) ascertain the topical-diagnostic importance of individual variants of ABD; (b) specify differential indications for surgical intervention; (c) carry out a comparative evaluation of the results of conservative and surgical treatment of epilepsy aimed at correcting ABD.
