Abstract

The importance of intermittent delta activity and periodic patterns in the electroencephalogram has intrigued #neurophysiologists for decades. The clinical interpretations varied from nonspecific to suggested structural metabolic behavior, infectious and even #epilepsy [1]. The most frequent #clinical features were determined by #clinicalhistory of children with intermittent rhythmic delta activity and periodic patterns (January 2013-June 2017). Total 16 patients, Female 9 (56%). Periodic patterns: 25% (n = 4) PLEDs, 13% (n = 2) BiPLEDs and 6% (n = 1) GPEDs. Intermittent rhythmic delta activity: 50% (n = 8) FIRDAs and 6% (n = 1) OIRDAs. The most frequent causes of PLEDs were infectious and #tumoral in 12.5% (n = 2) respectively. Tumor causes were the most frequent cause of FIRDAs 31% (n = 5), then neuroinfection12.5% (n = 2) and vascular 6% (n = 1).
