PLEDS

29
Q

What conditions is this associated with?

A

(TIRDA)
Ipsilateral hippocampal atrophy and MTS

30
Q

What condition does this patient have?

A

LGS
(1.5-2 Hz Spike-and-wave, disorganized background)

31
Q
A

Atonic seizure

32
Q

ICU patient has this EEG, what is causing it?

A

Triphasic waves: most commonly metabolic encephalopathy (liver / kidney failure) btu can see in other toxic / metabolic Conditions

33
Q
A

Triphasic waves, posterior-to-anterior lag

34
Q

ICU patient
what is this?
What do we think causes it?
What does this significy

A
  • Medium-to-high-voltages 1-3 Hz delta
  • Pyramidal neurons in cortical layers II, III, and V.
  • poor prognosis.
35
Q

What is this?
What is the most likely cause of this EEG finding?
What are 5 other causes

A

GPEDS
- most caused following cerebral anoxia after cardiorespiratory arrest
- 5 other causes
- Severe metabolic disease
- Overdoses of Lithium
- Overdoses of Baclofen
- CJD
- Later stages of Subacute sclerosis encephalitis (SSPE)

36
Q
A

Bust-suppression pattern

37
Q

Brain-death criteria based on EEG (ACNS) 11 + 1

A
  1. Minimum 8 scalp electrodes + earlobe references
  2. Electrode Impedance between 100 - 10,000 ohms
  3. Interelectrode distance > 10 cm
  4. Sensitivity of 2 uV/mm
  5. time-scale 0.3-0.4 seconds
  6. Integrety of whole system tested
  7. “monitoring techniques should be kept in mind”
  8. Reactivity to pain and loud sound must be checked
  9. Assessment of adequate core body temperature
  10. Recording should last for 30 minutes
  11. Electroencephalographers should read EEG at bedside and are advised to repeat the following day if they suspect electrocerebral silence.
  12. No sedating medications on board

43
Q
A

Triphasic waves (reminder that these can be unilateral)

44

2 - Fp1/Fp2 negative corneal deflections (downward eye movement)
3 - F7 positive, F8 negative (looking left)
4 - F8 positive, F7 negative (looking right)

46
Q

Photosensitive seizures:

- Male vs female prominence
- peak age at onset

A
  • 5%
  • 2/3 of patients are females
  • Peak age of onset: 12-13 years
47
Q

Define Photosensitivity regarding EEG

A
  • generalized or occipital spike-wave or polyspike-waves which are highly correlate with clinical photosensitivity (90%)
