Abstract

Even Hippocrates taught that seizures can occur both from an excess of blood in the brain, and from its lack. Many centuries later, this view received its experimental substantiation in the classical experiments of Cooper (1836), Panum (1856), Kussmaul and Tenner (1857). These authors experimentally proved that when the lumen of the carotid and vertebral arteries is closed, animals develop convulsive seizures that develop as a result of brain anemia. Opening the lumen of these vessels leads to the cessation of seizures. Convulsive phenomena were observed by M. Gall and when both jugular veins were clamped.
