[Cerebral blood flow in children and adolescents with epilepsy].

133Xe clearance and REG were used in 90 children and adolescents with epilepsy to study pMK, pMCC and the responsiveness of the cerebral vessels in the interparoxysmal period. If the disease takes a relatively favourable course, there is a compensatory intensification of the blood flow in the area of epileptic foci whereas in patients with an unfavourable course, marked chronic dyscirculatory hypoxia and disorders of the responsiveness of the cerebral vessels indicate the decompensation of the vascular component and, possibly, the primary organically induced insufficiency of the brain blood supply.
