Abstract
Depression of electrical activity over an area of acute infarction or intracerebral hemorrhage is described. The relationship between metabolic changes following an acute cerebral circulatory failure and the reduction of the electrical potentials of the brain is discussed. In the differential diagnosis of regional or hemispheric depression of the cerebral electrical activity an occlusive arterial process or a massive intracerebral hemorrhage has to be considered. The prognosis for recovery in patients with severe depression of the electrical activity in acute cerebral vascular accidents seems to be very poor.
