Bilateral independent periodic discharges (BIPDs; previously known as bilateral independent periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges or BIPLEDs) are EEG abnormalities consisting of discharges that occur repeatedly with a quantifiable and nearly regular inter-discharge interval, and independently (asynchronously) over each hemisphere (Hirsch ...

Brief Potentially Ictal Rhythmic Discharges (BIRDs), initially described in neonates, have been shown to correlate with increased risk of seizures in both critically ill and non-critically ill adults. In critically ill patients, BIRDs are associated with acute brain injury and worse functional outcomes.

2022年6月13日 · Assessment of treatment efficacy in patients with known status epilepticus (e.g., titration of antiepileptic infusions to target absence of seizures or burst-suppression). A screening (“spot”) EEG has revealed patterns along the ictal-interictal continuum, which increase the likelihood of subsequent seizures.

2018年12月5日 · The occurrence of bilateral independent periodic discharge (BIPD), which is caused by bilateral acute brain injury, is associated with electrographic seizures and is reported in...

Results: Twenty-five patients studied with a mean Glasgow Coma Scale 6.5 and modified Rankin scale 3.9 who underwent EEG monitoring, mean duration 287 hours (range 0.75-3,216). Most common causes of BIPDs were cardiac arrest, Central Nervous System infections, and acute/chronic ischemic/hemorrhagic stroke.

Methods: Retrospective case-control study of patients with BIPDs compared to patients without periodic discharges ("No PDs") and patients with lateralized periodic discharges ("LPDs"), matched for age, etiology and level of alertness. Results: We …

2020年7月31日 · Periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges (PLEDs) are characterized by electroencephalography (EEG) patterns with repetitive spike or sharp wave discharges that are focal or lateralized over one hemisphere and recur at almost fixed time intervals.

Clinical data on 18 patients whose EEGs showed bilateral independent periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges (BIPLEDs) were reviewed and compared with those of 45 patients with periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges (PLEDs). A recent stroke was the most frequent cause of PLEDs (33%), whil …

Acute seizures occurred at onset or within 24 h after hypoxic event. All patients had digital EEG recordings with 24 scalp electrodes positioned according to the standard 10–20 system of electrode placement, reformatted to both bipolar and off-head referential montages. The filter setting was 0.3 s (0.53 Hz) and 70 Hz.
