Risk of Developing Seizures in Children With Abnormal EEG Findings During Polysomnography.

Background: Polysomnography (PSG) utilizes abbreviated electroencephalogram (EEG) to stage sleep. The aim of this study was to determine whether epileptiform abnormalities on this limited EEG coverage correlated with abnormalities on routine EEG (rEEG) and an increased risk for seizures in children without a prior diagnosis of epilepsy.

Methods: A six-year retrospective chart review was performed assessing children with abnormalities on EEG during PSG.

Infant Stroke Associated With Left Atrial Thrombus and Supraventricular Tachycardia.

We report a rare case of cardioembolic stroke in the setting of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) in an infant. After a week of irritability, a 10-week-old male presented to the emergency department with SVT requiring treatment with adenosine. He developed right-sided hemiparesis and focal motor seizures.
