Abstract
The forced normalization of the electroencephalogram (Landolt syndrome) is a rapid normalization of the electroencephalogram (decrease in or disappearance of paroxysmal activity) under the influence of anticonvulsant treatment of epilepsy patients, corresponding to a decrease in frequency or complete disappearance of seizures with the appearance of neuropsychiatric disorders (dysphorias, the syndrome of hyperactivity and attention deficit, mysophobia etc). The authors present a review of the literature on the Landolt syndrome, and own data.
