Prognostic significance of electroencephalographic syndromes in acute infections of central nervous system in children

Abstract

Visual and computer - assisted analysis of electroencephalogram (EEG) was performed in 156 children with infections of central nervous system (CNS). It revealed four variants of EEG tracings (EEG-syndromes), related to different neurulogical outcome of the disease. EEG-syndromes of polirhythmia and sleep-like bradyrhythmia predicted good outcome. Syndrome of bioelectrical depression predicted poor outcome with the risk of severe neurological impairment. Prognostic significance of EEG-syndrome of cortical deafferentation depends on its duration in the acute period of the disease.
