Abstract
After the publications of GALICICH and FRENCH (2) several experimental and clinical investigations have confirmed the efficacy of dexamethasone treatment for cerebral edema (5, 6, 7, 10). At the same time they discussed several interesting problems. In order to gather more clinical information in man, we performed an electroencephalographic observation on the course before and during treatment with dexamethasone.
