Does hyperventilation increase the diagnostic sensitivity of routine electroencephalography in adults with suspected epilepsy?

Objective: We aimed to explore the role of hyperventilation (HV) during routine EEG recordings in the diagnosis of adults with epilepsy.

Methods: During the COVID-19 pandemic we removed HV from routine EEG recordings due to the transmission risks. Routine EEGs conducted in the year before and after the COVID-19 pandemic were re-evaluated.

Trigger Point Injection as a Rare Cause of Ischemic Stroke: A Case Report.

Senile-Onset Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis, Presenting With Peculiar Findings.

Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a well-known childhood disease; however, the adult onset of SSPE cases are also widely recognized where the oldest case reported is 52 years old. We report a 61-year-old woman patient presenting with atypical clinical and EEG features, diagnosed with SSPE. Measles and SSPE have decreased dramatically owing to worldwide immunization programs; however, there are still reasons to consider SSPE in differential diagnosis even in patients presenting with atypical clinical findings and older ages.
