6 Hz spike and wave, with females and occipital, low amplitude
What is the foramen of munro/interventricular foramen ?
opening between lateral ventricles to third ventricle
The _____________ is a tract of white matter connecting hippocampus with hypothalamus
fornix

Frequency equation
Frequency=[(mm/paperspeed)]/1000
What EEG patterns with frontal lobe tumor?
FIRDA, focal slow, arrhythmic delta activity
Where are T1/T2 placed?
placed one third of the distance from external acoustic meatus to outer canthus of the eye, 1
cm above the eye
2|Page
, With ______ disease, juvenile form has onset 6-8 yrs, sz often tonic-clonic or partial motor. EEG
progressive deterioration of background activity, multifocal abnormalities
Gaucher
With ______ _______, there is laughing. Disease of hypothalamic hamartomas manifesting with
gelastic seizures. This often evolves to a generalized epileptic encephalopathy with severe
seizures and cognitive and behavioral decline
gelastic seizure
Gliomas- tumors arising from glial cells (supportive tissue neurons are imbedded in),
1._____________(40's,50's, focal spikes and sharps), 2._________(lining central
canal/ventricles, more common children) , 3.________(focal spike EEG, most common, focal or
gen sz), 4.____________("butterfly"-invades via corpus callosum, sz, memory loss, headache,
malignant, behavior change), 5.___________ (rapid, children, roof 4th ventricle, listless, vomit,
gait, dizzy). Spread in fingerlike fashion-infiltration makes surgical removal impossible.
1. Oliogodendroglial
2. ependymal
3. astrocytoma
4. gliobastoma multiforme
5. medulloblastomas
What is ictal EEG of GTC?
Ictal EEG about 10 Hz of gen polyspikes during tonic, and then 1 Hz spike and wave during clonic
_________ _______ is where body's immune system attacks part of PNS, nerves lose myelin
sheath. The first symptoms of this disorder include varying degrees of weakness or tingling
sensations in the legs. Often, weakness and abnormal sensations spread to the arms and upper
body. Can result in paralysis of diaphragm
Guillain- Barre syndrome
________ is a tumor made of cells normally found in area of body where it forms. Not
malignant. Doesn't metastasize, but can grow large and damage organ. Found with tuberous
sclerosis.
hamartoma
What EEG patterns can be seen with head trauma?
EEG may be normal, slightly more gen theta, slow waves, burst suppression, spindle coma,
alpha coma. Hard to call abnormal if no pre-injury EEG
