Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis is associated with: Measles Localized or lateralized high voltage delta is seen in: Cerebral abscess The EEG of a patient with meningitis is most likely to show: Slowing Periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges are often seen in: Herpes simplex encephalitis Slow spike-and-wave complexes are characteristic of: Lennox-Gastaut syndrome A disease that presents with an acoustic startle response within the first few months of life: Tay Sachs disease During neonatal seizures, the EEG is most likely to show: Focal rhythmic activity What is a typical EEG pattern associated with absence seizures 3Hz spike-and-wave EEG manifestations as eyelid myoclonia with and without absences, eye closure induced seizures, EEG paroxysms and photosensitivity: Jeavons syndrome Hypsarrythmia is a pattern most associated with: Infantile spasms A prolonged series of generalized convulsions without any period of consciousness between them is referred to as; Status epilepticus Rhythmic theta activity in the temporal region is most commonly associated with which seizure type: Complex partial The acronym used to describe distinctive EEG waves or complexes that occur between seizures and are distinguished from the background activity: IEDs, interictal epileptiform discharges Benign Rolandic Epilepsy spikes are seen: Central-Temporal Immediately following an absence seizure, the EEG is most likely to show: Normal activity Typical EEG pattern seen in partial seizure disorder: Anterior temporal spike focus The onset of West Syndrome is most likely to occur at age: 4 months The EEG of a child with benign Rolandic epilepsy is most likely to show: Spikes at C3 and C4 The neurological examination is likely to be abnormal in patients with: Lennox-Gastaut syndrome The EEG of a patient with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome is most likely to show: 1.5 Hz spike-and-wave discharges Immediately following a generalized tonic-clinic seizure, the EEG typically shows: Generalized slowing Landu-Kleffner syndrome is associated with: Aphasia A childhood disorder characterized by acquired aphasia, multifocal epileptiform abnormalities, and focal or generalized seizures: Landau-Kleffner syndrome In patients with myoclonic epilepsy of Janz, seizures are most likely to occur: Early in the morning The EEG is most likely to show hypsarrythmia pattern in patients with: West Syndrome The EEG of a patient with hepatic encephalopathy is most likely to show: Generalized triphasic waves An EEG pattern usually seen in toxic-metabolic encephalopathies, most commonly hepatic or renal. Usually associated with an alteration of consciousness. Triphasic Waves If the EEG of a term newborn with asphyxia shows nonreactivity and periods of severe attenuation with bursts of mixed activity every 10 to 20 seconds, what is likely the cause? Severe cortical injury due to hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy During hyperventilation of a patient with a tumor in the right frontal area, the EEG is most likely to show: High voltage slow wave activity over the right frontal area A large lesion at the optic chiasm produces which of the following conditions? Complete blindness The EEG of a patient with a tumor in the left frontal lobe would most likely show: Left frontal polymorphic delta activity What tumor is most likely to provoke EEG abnormalities Glioblastoma Which EEG finding indicates the worst prognosis in patients with cerebral hemorrhages? Burst-suppression An EEG performed two days following a transient ischemic attack is most likely to show: Normal activity What is caused by prolonged severe cerebral anoxia? Burst-Suppression PLEDS are most likely to be seen in patients presenting with: Cerebral embolus PLEDS are seen in: Acute cerebral infarction What is characterized by dementia, myoclonus, and biphasic or triphasic repetitive discharges Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease What is the typical presentation of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease? Progressive dementia, bilateral rigidity and myoclonus, stupor, dealth The EEG of a patient in the earliest stages of Alzheimer's disease is most likely to show: Normal Activity
