METHOD FOR EVALUATING THE SEVERITY OF CNS INFECTIOUS LESION IN CHILDREN Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC A61B5/484 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: it is necessary to carry out registration and studying somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP); moreover, one should conduct stimulation of tibial nerve, register spinal potential above spinous process of the 1^st lumbar vertebra and cortical potential above the projection of parietal lobe. It is important to determine the amplitude N22 (A(N22)) of spinal potential and that of P37 (A(P37)) of cortical potential to calculate the coefficient of standardized amplitude value (CSAV) by the following formula: At CSAV being < 2.2 one should diagnose the decreased functional activity of affected cerebral structures and at CSAV being > 4.5 - the cortical lesion. The innovation enables to fulfill additional estimation of cortical potential amplitude.

EFFECT: higher significance of evaluation.
