Contribution of EEG in transient neurological deficits

Abstract: Identification of stroke mimics and 'chameleons' among transient neurological deficits (TND) is critical. Diagnostic workup consists of a brain imaging study, for a vascular disease or a brain tumour and EEG, for epileptiform discharges. The precise role of EEG in this diagnostic workup has, however, never been clearly delineated. However, this could be crucial in cases of atypical or incomplete presentation with consequences on disease management and treatment. We analysed the EEG patterns on 95 consecutive p… Show more

“…This is in line with previous literature describing intermittent slowing in delta or theta range on EEG as suggestive of HaNDL diagnosis (1). However, diffuse or focal slowing on EEG is not a specific finding, and can been seen with other primary headache disorders such as migraine (7375). Our study found abnormal MRI findings in 20 (25.6%) out of the 78 patients in which MRI was performed, with the most prominent findings being non-specific white matter lesions (10%), meningeal enhancement (7.5%) and corpus callosum lesions (5.1%).…”
