Rhythmic Mid-Temporal Discharges (RMTD) are rhythmic bursts of theta waves (5-7 Hz), usually with a notched appearance that is maximal in the mid-temporal regions. It occurs bilaterally with a shifting emphasis from side to side. It is seen during relaxed wakefulness and drowsiness and can easily be misinterpreted as abnormal. #TriviaTuesday #EEG

This pattern is defined as rhythmic bursts of theta waves (5-7 Hz), usually with a notched appearance that is maximal in the mid-temporal regions. It occurs bilaterally with a shifting emphasis from side to side. It is seen during relaxed wakefulness and drowsiness and can easily be misinterpreted as abnormal. Vote below 👇️ #TriviaTuesday #EEG

Reye's syndrome (RS) is a rare disorder that affects all organs of the body but is most harmful to the brain and the liver—causing an acute increase of pressure within the brain and, often, massive accumulations of fat in the liver and other organs. Reye's syndrome can occur at any age but usually affects children and teenagers after a viral infection, most commonly the flu or chickenpox. #TriviaTuesday #EEG

Alpha Coma vs. Beta Coma vs. Spindle Coma These patterns are characterized by electrical activity that morphologically resembles and sometimes appears nearly identical to normal waveforms (i.e., alpha rhythm, beta activity, spindles). To be classified as one of these patterns, the activity should be frankly excessive in amplitude or in spatial distribution (i.e., widespread), appear in unusual spatial distribution, or appear excessive in amount (i.e., near continuous).

The ketogenic diet has been used to reduce seizures since the 1920s. The mechanism by which the seizures are regulated is poorly understood. Both the low sugar component and high fat component uniquely alter the ‘excitability’ of the brain, thereby reducing the tendency to generate seizures. The keto diet has proven effective over time to help epilepsy. About 40% to 50% of children who start the keto diet have 50% fewer seizures. And roughly 10% to 20% of children achieve more than 90% reduction in seizures. The ketogenic diet is high in fat, adequate in protein and very low in carbohydrates (carbs). #TriviaTuesday #EEG Cite: https://lnkd.in/grR_MwXa

Sleep spindles typically develop by 2 to 3 months, are often asynchronous, and may remain so until about 6 to 12 months of age. Cite: Epilepsy Board Review: A Comprehensive Guide. (2017). United States: Springer New York. #EEG #TriviaTuesday

Sharp wave or no sharp wave? It is a Wicket Spike! Wicket spikes are normal #EEG variants that are frequently misinterpreted as abnormal (hence the nickname WICKED spikes!) They are defined as single (in this illustration) or trains of theta-alpha range, higher amplitude, monophasic arciform or spike-like waveforms, with shifting predominance in the bilateral temporal regions (or exclusively one sided, left temporal in this illustration), seen during drowsiness and light sleep.
