چکیده

We report a video-electroencephalogram study of a 50-year-old woman who developed a clinical picture consisting of stereotyped periodic eye opening followed by eye closing, with or without swallowing movements, after a prolonged cardiopulmonary arrest. These movements were associated with a burst-suppression pattern on the electroencephalogram. [Published with video sequences].

Postanoxic Burst Suppression Electroencephalogram in a Comatose Child Associated with Spontaneous Eyelid Opening

Spontaneous eye opening associated with burst suppression electroencephalogram has been reported in adults following postanoxic injury. Previous reports have correlated the onset of epileptiform bursts with the eye opening and attribute it to a brainstem-release phenomenon associated with poor prognosis. The author presents a case of a 12-year-old boy with burst suppression electroencephalogram...

Burst suppression in sleep in a routine outpatient EEG☆

Burst suppression (BS) is an electroencephalogram (EEG) pattern that is characterized by brief bursts of spikes, sharp waves, or slow waves of relatively high amplitude alternating with periods of relatively flat EEG or isoelectric periods. The pattern is usually associated with coma, severe encephalopathy of various etiologies, or general anesthesia. We describe an unusual case of anoxic brain...

Stimulus-sensitive burst-spiking in burst-suppression in children: implications for management of refractory status epilepticus.

Status epilepticus refractory to sequential trials of multiple medication is a rare but significant problem in children. We describe stimulus sensitivity arising during the treatment of convulsive status epilepticus in children (stimulus-sensitive burst-spiking in burst-suppression). We reviewed retrospectively clinical and EEG features in six children (three months to ten years), with status e...

Influence of sleep stage and wakefulness on spectral EEG activity and heart rate variations around periodic leg movements.

OBJECTIVE Typical changes in spectral electroencephalographic (EEG) activity and heart rate (HR) have been described in periodic leg movements (PLM) associated with or without microarousals (MA). We aimed to determine the effects of sleep stage and wakefulness on these responses to ascertain whether a common pattern of EEG and HR activation takes place. METHODS The time course of EEG spectral...

Baseline EEG pattern on continuous ICU EEG monitoring and incidence of seizures.

PURPOSE To identify the probability of detecting nonconvulsive seizures based on the initial pattern seen in the first 30 minutes of continuous EEG (cEEG) monitoring. METHODS Continuous EEG monitoring reports from 243 adult patients were reviewed, assessing the baseline cEEG monitoring pattern and the presence of seizures during the entire monitoring period. The baseline EEG patterns were cla...
