Data concerning the distribution and the nosological structure of nervous diseases in children aged from one month to 14 years in the town of N. (76 thousand inhabitants, 16,716 children) are presented. Peculiarities of the dynamics of the disease entities with reference to the age, as well as the influence of the sex on the disease entity are shown. Ranging of the distribution data has made it possible to fix the principal rank places for individual disease entities. The data obtained served as basis for calculating the requirements for neurological beds in children's hospitals and other specialized medical institutions for children.
