Generalized periodic discharges
Neurology 2012;79:1940–1941 Continuous EEG monitoring (cEEG) is increasingly employed to detect nonconvulsive seizures (NCSz) and nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) in critically ill patients. A recent international survey of 338 neurologists found that 83% use cEEG at least monthly.1 The growth in cEEG utilization has led to an increase in the recognition of EEG patterns of uncertain diag...
متن کاملGeneralized periodic discharges: Pathophysiology and clinical considerations
Generalized periodic discharges (GPDs) are commonly encountered in metabolic encephalopathy and cerebral hypoxia/ischemia. The clinical significance of this EEG pattern is indistinct, and it is unclear whether treatment with antiepileptic drugs is beneficial. In this study, we discuss potential pathophysiological mechanisms. Based on the literature, supplemented with simulations in a minimal co...
متن کاملClinical outcomes in patients with generalized periodic discharges
PURPOSE Generalized periodic discharges (GPDs) are frequently identified in the EEGs of hospitalized patients but their prognostic significance remains unclear. We retrospectively reviewed clinical data in patients with GPDs to elucidate factors associated with in-hospital mortality. METHOD We reviewed data from inpatients at three different hospitals affiliated with our institution in whom G...
متن کاملPeriodic lateralized epileptiform discharges: association with seizures
The clinical features and EEGs of 45 consecutive patients (40 adults and 5 children) who had periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges (PLEDs) were reviewed to determine the relationship between seizures and PLEDs. Focal encephalitis and ischemic stroke were the most frequent underlying processes for adult patients. All of the children, but only six of the adults, had long-lasting cerebral d...
متن کاملProlonged ictal monoparesis with parietal Periodic Lateralised Epileptiform Discharges (PLEDs).
We report a patient with prolonged monoparesis and parietal periodic lateralised epileptiform discharges (PLEDs). The patient was a 73-year-old man with chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia who developed persisting monoparesis of the right arm, sensory aphasia, and finger agnosia, initially associated with focal clonic seizures. These neurological deficits remained for seven days without subsequent...
