Stimulus-induced rhythmic, periodic, or ictal discharges (SIRPIDs): an intriguing EEG phenomenon.

SIRPIDs, an acronym for stimulus-induced rhythmic, periodic, or ictal discharges, were first named in 2004. This is a pattern observed in continuous electroencephalogram (CEEG) consistently elicited by stimulation in comatose patients. The pathophysiology of SIRPIDs probably involves dysregulation of subcortico-cortical projections, particularly thalamocortical circuit, in a markedly abnormal b...

B(I)RD Watching: A Way to Stratify Seizure Risk?

Commentary Seizures are deceptively difficult to define. Clinical seizures with an EEG correlate are rarely problematic, but seizures can be purely clinical, with no scalp EEG correlate, or conversely, purely electrographic, with no apparent clinical correlate. The latter is a common occurrence in neurologically critical patients. There is recognition that seizure definitions set somewhat arbit...

Rhythmic EEG patterns in extremely preterm infants: Classification and association with brain injury and outcome

OBJECTIVE Classify rhythmic EEG patterns in extremely preterm infants and relate these to brain injury and outcome. METHODS Retrospective analysis of 77 infants born <28 weeks gestational age (GA) who had a 2-channel EEG during the first 72 h after birth. Patterns detected by the BrainZ seizure detection algorithm were categorized: ictal discharges, periodic epileptiform discharges (PEDs) and...

Interictal Epileptiform Discharges

EEG remains the primary technique in the diagnosis, characterization, and localization of partial seizures. This review examines the significance and character of interictal epileptiform abnormailites, periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges, and ictal patterns in patients with partial epilepsy. Interictal epileptiform discharges are common and assist in the diagnosis and localization of p...

Similarity 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...
