ECT in Post-Stroke Major Depression.
A depressed male patient, who had his first affective disturbance as a complication of a right parietotemporal cerebrovascular accident, was treated with unilateral, nondominant electroconvulsive therapy, administered ipsilateral to the lesion. This procedure produced adequate seizure duration with excellent clinical results and without new neurological or neuropsychological deficits.
