[Electroencephalography, rheoencephalography, and echoencephalography in children with different forms of mumps].

A comprehensive examination of children aged one to 12 years suffering from epidemic parotitis (mumps) was carried out. Changes on the electro-, rheo-, and echoencephalograms were revealed, these changes depending on the form (glandular or glandular-nervous) and the period of the disease. The most pronounced disturbances were noted in the acute period of the disease in children with the glandular-nervous form of parotitis. As the children recovered the EEG, REG and echo-EEG findings in most of them still remained abnormal. This shows that the epidemic parotitis virus affects the nervous system.
