EEG spikes resembling cardiac M-shaped waves in the EKG: the cerebral M pattern

Abstract: Interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) in the electroencephalogram (EEG) are electroclinical patterns typified by sharp waves and spikes, and defined as waveforms that are distinct from the background activity due to their high amplitude (typically 2.5-fold higher than the background voltage). Their duration may vary from less than 70 ms (classified as spikes) to 70-200 ms (classified as sharp waves). There is a large body of literature on the characteristics of typical IEDs 1-5 but a paucity of data on aty… Show more

“…Theoretically, this process is triggered by cortical deafferentation due to a sub-cortical pathology. Bifid spikes17 and “notched” delta18 are presumed to emanate from conduction defects in projection fibers, resulting in the electrical signals reaching the scalp with different latencies, configuring a “notched” appearance.…”
