However, epileptiform transients can be distinguished from sleep architecture by their waveform and their occurrence during wakefulness. Here, we report a 24-year-old man with drug-resistant epilepsy whose seizures began with tonic posturing of the left leg before progressing to bilateral tonic-clonic activity. During presurgical scalp video-EEG monitoring, his interictal background showed focal spike-wave discharges maximal over the vertex (phase reversal at Cz), with a more-well-defined field over the right parasagittal region (C4/F4), that were present during both sleep and awake states. The discharges met the IFCN criteria for focal interictal epileptiform discharges (spiky morphology, duration shorter than background activity, asymmetric waveform, after-going slow wave, and physiologic distribution) and appeared to be distinct from the patient's vertex sharp waves. Prior to electroclinical seizures, these discharges would increase in prevalence and appear as repetitive spike-wave discharges. When distinguishing epileptiform from nonepileptiform transients, it is critical to consider both their morphology, especially the degree of background disruption and presence of an after-going slow wave, and their variability with state changes.</p>","PeriodicalId":22816,"journal":{"name":"The Neurodiagnostic Journal","volume":" ","pages":"218-225"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141971905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, there is a pressing need to identify cost-effective biomarkers and procedures capable of accurately detecting alterations in ulnar nerve structural and functional integrity. Established electrophysiological techniques, such as motor and sensory nerve conduction studies, along with needle electromyography of specific muscles, represent the gold standard for ulnar nerve electrodiagnosis. Concurrently, the introduction of neuromuscular ultrasound and its integration into electromyographic laboratories has significantly impacted structural diagnosis and the precise localization of ulnar nerve pathology over the past two decades. In this review, our objective is to summarize the current knowledge on both classical and advanced diagnostic methods utilized in clinical neurophysiology laboratories. We aim to provide a synthesis of modern electrodiagnostic and neurosonographic techniques, with a particular emphasis on easily attainable, clinically relevant parameters.</p>","PeriodicalId":22816,"journal":{"name":"The Neurodiagnostic Journal","volume":" ","pages":"175-192"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141902972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
