ANSWERS
Pediatric syndrome known as Happy Puppet Syndrome - Answer-Angelmann's
What do you see in Angelmann's/Happy Puppet Sydrome? - Answer-High Amplitude in Occipital
Rare fatal autosomal recessive neuroregenerative - Answer-Battons
Performing PS, get photoparoxysmal response, what should the tech do? - Answer-Stop PS immediately
3 hz spike and wave pattern, another term for absence seizure? - Answer-Pyknolepsy
(Sample) Pt w/ epilepsy w/ early morning - Answer-JME
Different scalp electrode in input 1, connected to a single common electrode input 2 - Answer-
Referential
Artifact often seen in EEG w/ patient w/ a short neck - Answer-EKG
, Occur bi occipitally & also known as lambdoid - Answer-POSTS
abrupt bizarre appearing potential usually confined to a single electrode only - Answer-Electrode pop
Any single wave, or brief complex, notably different from background - Answer-Transient
A diphasic of wave w/ spindles superimposed - Answer-K-complex
Eye movement create opposite polarity @ F7-F8 - Answer-Lateral eye movement
Common component of normal pediatric recording seen in older pt w/ pt taking benzodiazepines -
