Abstract
Subclinical Rhythmic Electroencephalographic Discharges of Adults (SREDA) is a benign EEG variant characterized by sharply contoured rhythmic theta activity occurring bilaterally with maximum activity over the parietal or the posterior head region. These paroxysms are not associated with any objective or subjective clinical manifestations. SREDA, the rarest and last reported benign EEG pattern with no known clinical significance yet, is detailed in this case report. We provide the case of a gentleman with epilepsy who underwent vEEG recording in our lab. The described case is interesting due to its EEG characteristics as well as its clinical picture, which misled us for at least a while. It provides an illustration of how over interpretation of normal EEG patterns may result in an incorrect diagnosis.
期刊介绍:
The Neurodiagnostic Journal is the official journal of ASET - The Neurodiagnostic Society. It serves as an educational resource for Neurodiagnostic professionals, a vehicle for introducing new techniques and innovative technologies in the field, patient safety and advocacy, and an avenue for sharing best practices within the Neurodiagnostic Technology profession. The journal features original articles about electroencephalography (EEG), evoked potentials (EP), intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM), nerve conduction (NC), polysomnography (PSG), autonomic testing, and long-term monitoring (LTM) in the intensive care (ICU) and epilepsy monitoring units (EMU). Subject matter also includes education, training, lab management, legislative and licensure needs, guidelines for standards of care, and the impact of our profession in healthcare and society. The journal seeks to foster ideas, commentary, and news from technologists, physicians, clinicians, managers/leaders, and professional organizations, and to introduce trends and the latest developments in the field of neurodiagnostics. Media reviews, case studies, ASET Annual Conference proceedings, review articles, and quizzes for ASET-CEUs are also published in The Neurodiagnostic Journal.
