Updates Verified By Experts
Jansky Bielschowski - Correct Answer -_____________ __________ has an onset
between 2-4 yrs. Massive myoclonic jerks, atonic, astatic sz. EEG slow background
rhythms, multifocal spikes. Also called late infantile ceroid-lipofuscinosis
Juvenile Myoclonic epilepsy of Janz - Correct Answer -What has a mean onset 13
yrs.? Interictal single or brief multiple gen spike and wave freq 3-6 Hz against
normal background. Involuntary jerks of arm/face. Early morning hrs after waking.
Confusion (can't remember when counting backwards....). "frozen". Triggers sleep
deprivation, stress, alcohol. Genetic- chromosome 6.
2 and 3 - Correct Answer -What stages do you see a K-complex in?
Secondary Partial, myoclonic sz, JME, GTC - Correct Answer -Keppra
(levetiracetam) is used for what kind of seizures?
lennox - gastaut - Correct Answer -Ketogenic diets are especially useful in what
kind of seizures?
,generalized; slow - Correct Answer -Kuf's disease, which affects mostly adults, is a
slow progressive disease w/ frequent __________ seizures and extreme photic
sensitivity w/ _________ photic stimulation.
Lafora - Correct Answer -________ has peak 6-19 yrs onset, gen clonic/ tonic-
clonic, or partial sz. Rapid progressive mental deterioration. EEG shows discharges
of fast spike-waves, polyspike-waves, photosensitivity, deterioration of
background activity, and appearance of multifocal abnormalities (particularly
posterior). Death an average of 5.5 yrs after onset.
Landau Kleffner - Correct Answer -_______ ________ presents w/ aphasia,
multifocal spikes, spike/wave discharge. Sz, behavioral & psychomotor discharges.
Verbal auditory agnosia. Sz 70%. Onset 3-7; Remit before 15.
Lennox Gastaut - Correct Answer -________ _______ presents w/ 1.5-2 Hz sharp
and slow wave and excessive slow background, multiple types of sz, most
developmental delay. 3-5 yrs peak onset. Sleep bursts of fast rhythms (10 Hz). 60%
had encephalopathy. Irregular fast spike-wave or polyspike. Status 2-3 Hz. Cause
may be idiopathic, 20% west syndrome, encephalopathy, birth trauma.
Lissencephaly-pachygyria - Correct Answer -____________ presents w/: facial
abnormalities, hypotonia, infantile spasms, EEG fast activity of high-voltage w/out
change during wake/sleep, or hypsarrhythmia. The brain is smooth instead of
having gyri.
,locked-in syndrome - Correct Answer -________ __________ _______ presents
w/ upper brainstem damaged, can breathe spontaneously, can respond to spoken
commands w/blinking or vertical eye movement. EEG may be normal.
100-300 mA - Correct Answer -Macroshock causes v-fib w/ a range of _____ to
_______ mA
1. via intracortical, intrahemispheric paths, 2. Via interhemispheric paths of corpus
callosum/anterior commissure, 3. Subcortical connections through thalamus and
brainstem reticular formation - Correct Answer -What are the three mechanisms
of spread?
medulla oblongata - Correct Answer -The ________ _______ is the control center
for respiration, heart rate, and digestive activities.
Meniere's - Correct Answer -_______________ presents w/ disorder of the inner
ear causing episodes of vertigo and fluctuating hearing loss w/ a progressive,
ultimately permanent loss of hearing, ringing in the ear (tinnitus), and sometimes
a feeling of fullness or pressure in your ear.
, 1. older
2. benign, well-encapsulated - Correct Answer -1. Are meningiomas common in
older or younger people?
2. Are they well-encapsulated and benign or fast-growing w/out distinct borders?
Meningitis - Correct Answer -________ presents w/ an EEG of excessive slow, gen
slowing background, in comatose frontal PDA high-volt, then to low voltage non-
reactive slow or burst suppression. Pt had nuchal rigidity and fever.
10 - Correct Answer -Microshock: ______ uA direct through the heart can cause V-
fib
midline theta - Correct Answer -______ ______: train of 5-7 Hz for 4-20 seconds.
Smooth sinusoidal arciform, Cz focus, kids or adults. Wake or drowsy. Normal
variant
FP1, FP2, C3, Cz, C4, T3, T4, O1, O2, A1, A2 - Correct Answer -What are the 11
minimum electrodes for a neonatal recording?
