Dr. Bronnikov reported a case of Jackson's epilepsy treated operatively. A patient after being wounded with a hammer of the parietal bone first suffered paralysis of the right arm and difficulty in speaking, and after 2 months he had epileptiform seizures every 6 days. In the 4th month, he underwent surgery to remove fragments of the internal lamina pressing on the dura mater, and the defect was closed with a piece of fascia lata with fatty tissue. The patient was demonstrated 3 months after the operation; he had no seizures, his speech was normal, and his hand function had been restored.
