[The formation of reactions of the cerebral cortical-brain stem structures to mild craniocerebral trauma in children].
1,536 healthy children at the age from 20 days to 15 years were examined by means of EEG method after non-severe cerebrocranial trauma (CCT). Investigation of reactions of cortico-brain stem structures revealed some regularities in their development which depended on age: from visual absence of any EEG changes (because of immature cortico-brain stem and deficient links between them)--in babies, the signs of alterations of corticosubcortical relationships and irritation of mesencephalic-diencephalic structures (in children of the first years of life), to irritation of hypothalamic structures and increase of ascending activating influence of nonspecific media cerebral structures--in children after 7 years old. The above-mentioned alterations resembled quite well EEG changes of adult patients' brains in process of decreasing of CCT severity and correlated also with dynamics of reverse development of pathological process after severe CCT.
