Essay

The Dissertation is Dedicated to the rationale of neuropathophysiological mechanisms of visual, auditory and cognitive disorders in children having spastic forms of cerebral palsy (CP), basing upon the evoked potential studies and upon the blood level of proinflammatory cytokines TNF-? and IL-1?. It has been shown that there exist pathological changes in electrogenesis of the optical (84,1 %) and auditory (63,5%) sensory system, as well as changes of compensatory adaptational character (44,3%) in children with spastic CP. It has been proved for the first time that the overproduction of cytokines TNF-? and IL-1? plays its pathogenetic role in the development of pathological changes in the central parts of sensory systems and enhancement in cognitive deficit in children with CP at the residual stage
