background and objective: magnetic resonance imaging (mri) is the most sensitive technique to detect multiple sclerosis (ms) plaques in central nervous system. in some cases, the patients who were suspected to ms, whereas mri images are normal, but whether patients don’t have ms plaques or mri images are not enough optimized enough in order to show ms plaques? the aim of the current study is ev...

Five patients with acute anoxic episodes requiring resuscitation, with coma and development of epileptic manifestations are reported. Myoclonic types of seizures were predominantly seen in these cases. Rhythmical or burst-like generalized-synchronous spike discharges represented the most common EEG correlate of the epileptic activity. In one patient, a suppression-burst-like pattern was tempora...

Burst suppression (BS) is an electroencephalogram (EEG) pattern that is characterized by brief bursts of spikes, sharp waves, or slow waves of relatively high amplitude alternating with periods of relatively flat EEG or isoelectric periods. The pattern is usually associated with coma, severe encephalopathy of various etiologies, or general anesthesia. We describe an unusual case of anoxic brain...

Burst suppression (BS) consists of bursts of high-voltage slow and sharp wave activity alternating with periods of background suppression in the electroencephalogram (EEG). When induced by deep anesthesia or encephalopathy, BS is bihemispheric and is often viewed as a non-epileptic phenomenon. In contrast, unihemispheric BS is rare and its clinical significance is poorly understood. We describe...

Abstract Current guidelines advocate to treat refractory status epilepticus (RSE) with continuously administered anesthetics induce an artificial coma if first- and second-line antiseizure drugs have failed stop seizure activity. A common surrogate for monitoring the depth of is appearance a burst-suppression pattern (BS) in EEG. This review summarizes current knowledge on origin neurophysiolog...

Increasing levels of anesthesia are thought to produce a progressive loss of brain responsiveness to external stimuli. Here, we present the first report of a state window within anesthesia-induced coma, usually associated with an EEG pattern of burst suppression, during which brain excitability is dramatically increased so that even subliminal stimuli elicit bursts of whole-brain activity. We i...
