    [Effectiveness of the therapeutic use of complexones in various diseases of the extrapyramidal system in children].

    [Article in Russian]

    Abstract

    The article is devoted to therapy of some extrapyramidal diseases related to accumulation of biomicroelements in the basal ganglia. Two clinical observations (Fahr's disease and Hallervodren-Spatz' disease) in children are described. In both cases therapy with complexones (xydifon, penicillamine, deferoxamine) combined with antioxidants, calcium antagonists, drugs improving the microcirculation, etc., produced a marked positive effect. This was the first case of using complexones for treating Fahr's disease. Possible ways of correcting the metabolism of trace elements in diseases affecting the central nervous system, in particular perspectives of wider application of complexones are discussed.
