Those troublesome but never tiresome triphasic waves.
(TWs) and generalized spike waves (GSWs), as in nonconvulsive generalized status epilepticus, are biologically distinct, but can closely resemble one another on the scalprecorded EEG.1 As numerous authors have pointed out, TWs are characteristic of metabolic encephalopathies.2-5 However, they have also been described in sepsis, meningitis and cortical degenerative diseases.6-9 Many of these con...

متن کاملEEG with triphasic waves in Borrelia burgdorferi meningoencephalitis.
We describe a case of encephalopathy in which the clinical picture and triphasic waves in the EEG indicated a metabolic cause. However, the illness was caused by neuroborreliosis. The occurrence of triphasic waves in the EEG is a strong evidence of metabolic encephalopathy, but triphasic waves are not specific for metabolic encephalopathy. Triphasic waves have been described in a number of non-...
متن کاملCefepime-induced encephalopathy with triphasic waves in three Asian patients.
Dear Editor, Cefasporins such as cefepime are beta-lactam antibiotics with a broad antimicrobial spectrum. They are commonly used as first-line agents in the treatment of many infections.1 Reversible encephalopathy is a known neurotoxic complication of cefalosporins.2 Previous case reports have documented triphasic waves on electroencephalography (EEG) in cephalosporin-induced encephalopathy.1-...
