[The value of the electroencephalogram for the diagnosis of early childhood brain damage].
Among 406 children with anamnestically and clinically verified infantile brain damage, 356 (87.7%) showed a pathologically changed EEG. In the coordination to clinical symptoms and syndromes, the frequency of the pathological EEG findings was greatest in the group of children suffering from cerebral convulsions (96.7%). It can be derived from the results that the EEG as a method of examination that does not produce any stress and can be carried out in every child is particularly well suited for the verification of the diagnosis of an infantile brain damage.
