Clinical and electroencephalographic examinations of 644 infants with a history of a mild craniocerebral injury (CCI) have shown that CCI runs a graver course if experienced after perinatal encephalopathy. The EEG readings permit an objective evaluation of the results of the clinical and neurological examinations of the children and determination of the involvement of the subcortical and stem brain structures into the pathological process. By the end of the second year of life, especially after perinatal encephalopathy, mild CCI produces mild or moderate irritation of the stem structures of the brain in half the children which should be taken into account in the pathogenetic therapy.
