Triphasic waves during post-ictal stupor.
BACKGROUND The term, "triphasic wave" originally described an EEG pattern believed to be a marker for a specific stage of hepatic coma. For 4 decades, the diagnostic and prognostic specificity of the pattern remains controversial. Its pathophysiology also continues to be elusive. METHODS EEG recordings were obtained in three patients known or suspected to have primary generalized epilepsy. In...
متن کاملThose 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 کاملIctal visual hallucinations and post-ictal hemianopia with anosognosia
We report the case history of an adult who developed seizures with nearly pure visual symptoms due to an occipital vascular lesion. The seizures were characterized by elementary visual hallucinations in the right visual field. Interictally, a dense homonymous hemianopia was demonstrated in the clinical examination and by using perimetry, but was not recognized by the patient himself. The seizur...
متن کاملRecurrent post-ictal hyperthermia Hipertermia pós-ictal recorrente
An 80-year-old hypertensive man, with epileptic seizures of unknown etiology, since his 70th’s, was observed for 3 times in 4 years with self-limited right focal motor seizures with impairment of consciousness. In all these episodes, he had post-ictal global aphasia, right homonymous hemianopsia, right hemiparesis and hyperthermia (38–39.6°C). Complete clinical workups during these events (incl...
متن کاملSpectral and spatial shifts of post-ictal slow waves in temporal lobe seizures.
Temporal lobe seizures have a significant chance to induce impairment of normal brain functions. Even after the termination of ictal discharges, during the post-ictal period, loss of consciousness, decreased responsiveness or other cognitive dysfunctions can persist. Previous studies have found various anatomical and functional abnormalities accompanying temporal lobe seizures, including an abn...
