Periodic 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 کاملPeriodic lateralized epileptiform discharges (PLEDs) in herpetic encephalitis.
An 86-year-old male presented with confusion, fever and tonicclonic seizures. CSF analysis showed lymphocytic pleocytosis and high protein count, leading to initiation of acyclovir. EEG revealed PLEDs in the left hemisphere (figure 1C) and MRI demonstrated left hippocampal and insular hyperintensities (figure 1A, 1B). Herpes simplex virus (HSV) encephalitis was confirmed by PCR. PLEDs represent...
متن کاملPeriodic lateralized epileptiform discharges as manifestation of pneumococcal meningoencephalitis
Periodic Lateralized Epileptiform Discharges (PLEDs) are usually seen in the context of destructive structural lesions of the cortex, more frequently in acute ischemic stroke and less common in tumours and meningoencephalitis, specially herpes simplex virus. Its origin and prognosis are uncertain but it is known that PLEDs are linked to epilectic seizures, including status epilepticus.We report...
متن کاملSPECT in periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges (PLEDs): a form of partial status epilepticus?
Periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges (PLEDs) are a well defined electroencephalographic entity but whether PLEDs represent an ictal condition or not remains debated. Much work has been done using electroencephalography (EEG) but new approaches using cerebral perfusion imaging may give more information about this question. We aimed to evaluate if PLEDs were associated with high regional ...
متن کاملSimilarity of lateralized rhythmic delta activity to periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges in critically ill patients.
IMPORTANCE The increasing use of continuous electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring in the intensive care unit has led to recognition of new EEG patterns that are of unclear or unknown significance. OBJECTIVE To describe an EEG pattern, lateralized rhythmic delta activity (LRDA), encountered in critically ill subjects and determine its clinical significance in this setting. DESIGN, SETTING, A...
