In 170 children aged 3 to 14 the convulsive syndrome was studied at the acute, rehabilitation and remote stages of the nonpenetrating head trauma (NHT). The patients were divided into groups having permanent seizures of these appearing after a certain seizure-free stage. Characteristic shifts in hemodynamic, cerebrospinal-fluid dynamic indices, sympathoadrenal system activity and electrolyte balance were shown in each group. With these leading pathogenic mechanisms of NHT-induced convulsive syndrome elucidated, and effective method of their treatment was introduced.
