Description
Summary:	89 patients of elderly and senile age with various epilepsy forms have been examined. The general characteristic features of bioelectric brain activity of the elderly patients, suffering from epilepsy have been defined. Features of electroencephalographic (EEG) picture depending on the form of the disease, age of debut, expressiveness of cerebrovascular pathologies are revealed. It is shown that the survey of EEG in dynamics helps with selection of adequate antiepileptic therapy and enables to avoid strengthening cognitive deficiency.
