商品簡介
Suitable as a quick reference, study guide or desk reference, this compilation closely describes electroencephalography (EEG) in a vignette format along with tips on acquisition and interpretation of EEG findings. The 100 case studies are real-life, with physical findings and clinical photographs and include actual diagnoses on following pages along with commentary on the case's clinical course and outcome. The pearls focus on avoiding pitfalls and complications and cover the basic principles of electricity, acquisition, vocabulary, the normal waking EEG and that of sleep, neonatal polygraphy, focal sharp transients and localization-related epilepsy, generalized discharges and generalized epilepsy, ictal discharges and epileptic seizures, focal lesions, diffuse encephalopathy, periodic epileptiform discharges, and status epilepticus.
