title: [The role of brain stem in determination of compensation of mechanisms regulating autonomic functions as illustrated by craniocerebral trauma].
abstract: Clinical neurologic and electroencepalographic examinations were performed in 484 patients with craniocerebral trauma (CCT) of different degree of severity and in remote period of severe CCT. Polygraphic study of autonomic functions including ECG, digital photoplethysmography and evaluation of dermal galvanic reactions were performed in 114 patients. A comparison of the disorders in autonomic functions both with a level and a degree of irritation of brain stem structures, according to EEG-data permitted to define a degree of impairment of compensatory mechanisms responsible for autonomic functions' regulation in CCT of different severity.
