Exploding Head Syndrome in the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit: Case Report and Literature Review.

Diagnosis of paroxysmal events in epilepsy patients is often made through video-telemetry electroencephalography in the epilepsy monitoring unit. This case report describes the first-ever diagnosis of exploding head syndrome in a patient with longstanding epilepsy and novel nocturnal events. In this report, we describe the presentation of exploding head syndrome and its prevalence and risk factors.

The state of everyday quantitative EEG use in Canada: A national technologist survey.

Purpose: This study sought to determine the state of quantitative EEG (QEEG) use in Canada, as QEEG may provide a partial solution to the issue of escalating EEG demand against insufficient health care resources.

Methods: A 10-item survey questionnaire was administered to participants at the annual meeting of the Canadian Association of Electroneurophysiology Technologists, which was held in parallel with the annual meeting of the Canadian Neurological Sciences Federation.

Results: At least 70% of the Canadian population has QEEG access through academic medical institutions with applicability to adults and children.
