The effect of menstrual cycle on EEG parameters is investigated in norm, in epilepsy becoming acute in menstrual and perimenstrual periods (catamenial), and in epilepsy whose exacerbation is not connected with menstrual cycle. The ten dencies to the decrease of spectral power in cycle luteal phase in healthy women and women suffering from epilepsy are mentioned. The primary role of spectrum low-frequency components and total power level in neurodynamics of catamenial epilepsy is shown.
