Subclinical rhythmic electrographic discharge in adults: an atypical evolution.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The subclinical rhythmic electrographic discharge in adults (SREDA) has been rarely reported. We describe the case of a 71 year-old man with transient ischemic attack, whose EEG showed an atypical evolution of this uncommon pattern. The computed tomography scan and cerebrospinal fluid were normal. We are not aware of any other report in the literature with this atypical evolution of SREDA.

Subclinical rhythmic EEG discharge of adults: “SREDA in a child”
Subclinical rhythmic electrographic discharges of adult (SREDA) is the rarest of all the benign epileptiform variants observed in any electrophysiology laboratory. SREDA was first reported by Naquet et al. and later defined by Westmoreland and Klass. Even though it resembles a seizure pattern, lack of evolutive features and clinical correlate help in the differential diagnosis with true epilept...
متن کاملSubclinical rhythmic electrographic discharges of adults and transient global amnesia: a causal or casual association?
Subclinical rhythmic electrographic discharges of adults (SREDA) is an uncommon distinctive EEG rhythmic pattern with uncertain significance. We report a patient with transient global amnesia in whom an EEG recording, performed after the acute phase of the neurological event, showed SREDA. Based on this EEG finding, we discuss about a possible correlation between SREDA and transient global amne...

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...

متن کاملTransient global amnesia and the forgotten EEG pattern
We read with interest the excellent retrospective study of YooSeok Kwon, reporting a high proportion (22.9%) of patients with transient global amnesia (TGA) and epileptiform discharges (mostly with a left dominance) detected within days of the episode of TGA. Authors should be commended for having conducted a study aimed to shed further light on the pathogenesis of such a fascinating disorder. ...
