    Abstract:
    In 136 patients with different forms of epileptic strokes paradoxal sleep (PS) was studied. Shifts of a qualitative and quantitative character were revealed. The latter, in particular was expressed in a dissociative type of PS when muscular tension was preserved. The found changes were expressed more severely in patients with polymorphic and psychomotor strokes in the frontotemporal and frontal localization of the epileptic focus. In general, the same patients registered paroxysmal and epileptic activity in the period of PS, what was infrequently found in other forms of epileptic strokes, however, it had never coincided with the registration of rapid ocular movements. The role of PS physiological mechanisms in suppression of epileptic activity and possible ways of searching for more effective antiepileptic measures are discussed.
