The study of clinico-neurological, electroencephalographical and pathological data in 37 patients with post-dislocation lesions of midbrain and pons Varolii yielded identification of the syndroms of isolated functioning of brainstem-cerebral and brainstem-spinal systems: mesencephalo-pontine, supramesencephalic, unilateral. Clinico-physiological features characteristic of these syndromes are discussed as different from those of acute brain dislocations. Their value in diagnosis and prediction of the death of brain as an organ.
