Subjects of clinical and biochemical investigation were 8 children aged 4.5 months to 12 years suffering from hepatocerebral syndrome which had developed after acute respiratory infection, encephalitis, acute appendicitis. Methods of pathogenic therapy and early diagnosis are offered.

The authors examined 65 children with closed head trauma of varying severity and 68 children with other acute neurological diseases. A new method of the diagnosis and assessment of the severity of closed craniocerebral injury, namely, crystallographic examination of the patients' cerebrospinal fluid, was used in the study. The method helped to establish the clinical forms of closed head trauma and to determine its severity and the presence of complications.

On the material of 72 children with infectious toxicoses the authors describe the encephalic syndrome as a manifestation of the neurotoxic syndrome. The neurotoxic syndrome was studied clinically and morphologically. A marked syndrome was characterized by a considerable edema of the brain and its stem and not infrequently by the vedging of the cerebellum into the great occipital orifice. Hemispheric focal symptomatology was typically associated with intracranial hemorrhage which was considered as a manifestation of the DIC syndrome. The authors believe that the neurotoxic syndrome in infectious toxicoses should be considered as general cerebral disorders of noninflammatory nature manifested in non-specific morphofunctional and metabolic disturbances.
