Self-induced hypoxia has been reported particularly in adolescents, and it can result in neurological injury. Here, we present a case of electroencephalogram (EEG) abnormalities induced by habitual neck compression differentiated from epileptic seizures by Tc-99m HMPAO SPECT. A 19-year-old male was admitted for evaluation of recurrent generalized tonic-clonic seizures. No interictal EEG abnorma...

Background Alzheimer’s disease dementia (ADD) is the most common neurodegenerative dementing disorder explaining about 60-70% of 50 million patients worldwide (www.who.int). Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) another diffuse inducing abnormalities in vigilance (visual hallucinations, cognitive fluctuations, and REM sleep behavior disorder). These may be reflected reduction amplitude (“reactivity”)...

OBJECTIVE To assess the contribution of neonatal electroencephalogram (EEG) and its correlation with the neurological examination at age of 9 months in newborns with bacterial neonatal meningitis. METHOD Twenty seven infants were studied with positive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) culture for bacteria. We used the worse EEG result during acute phase of meningitis, and performed neurologic follow-...

Continuous monitoring by electroencephalography (EEG) was performed in 31 preterm infants with echodense ultrasound lesions using the Oxford Medilog four channel recorder. In 12 infants these densities preceded cyst formation, eight in the periventricular and four in the subcortical region. In the 19 other infants the densities resolved. The most severe EEG depression occurred in the four infan...

INTRODUCTION: Anti-NMDA receptor (NMDAr) encephalitis associated syndrome includes neuropsychiatric symptoms, impaired consciousness, seizures, autonomic instability, and hypoventilation. The electroencephalographic (EEG) activity throughout the course of the disease has not been documented enough. We reviewed electroclinical data of patients with NMDAr encephalitis contributing to characterize...

BACKGROUND Prior studies have shown that the electroencephalogram (EEG) is of low diagnostic yield in the evaluation of syncope but have not looked at the yield according to referring physician specialty. The goals of this study were to determine if the yield of the EEG is higher when ordered by neurologists and whether EEGs with abnormal findings resulted in any significant change in patient m...

OBJECTIVE We investigated the prevalence and pattern of electroencephalographic (EEG) features of epilepsy and the associated factors in Africans with active convulsive epilepsy (ACE). METHODS We characterized electroencephalographic features and determined associated factors in a sample of people with ACE in five African sites. Mixed-effects modified Poisson regression model was used to dete...

Problem statement: Electroencepharogram (EEG) is an extremely complex signal with very low signal to noise ratio and these attributed to difficulty in analyzing the signal. Hence for detecting abnormal segment, a distinctive method is required to train the technologist to distinguish the anomalous in EEG data. The objective of this study was to create a framework to analyze EEG signals recorded...

Epilepsy is a chronic disease characterized by recurrent seizures that affect 2% of the population. The present study was conducted to assess the role of EEG and CT scan in patients with partial or generalized seizures and to make out any correlation between these two investigations and to establish usefulness of CT in defining the aetiology of seizures. The study was retrospectively carried ou...
