Abstract
42 patients with discirculatory and posttraumatic encephalopathy were treat ed with betaserk. Ultrasonic dopplerography and acoustic evoked potentials were used for assessment of the treatment results. It was established that betaserk was quite effective both for arrest of acute vertigo attacks and f or prophylaxis of vertigo relapses. A decrease in frequency of vertigo atta cks (by 60%, on the average) as well as in their duration and intensity wer e accompanied by an increase in blood flow through the arteries of vertebro -basilar system and by normalization of the parameters of acoustic evoked p otentials.
