ictal

Most common post ictal symptom was drowsiness (61.4%), followed by altered sensorium (31.6%), and lethargy (7%).

Stimulus-induced rhythmic, periodic, or ictal discharges were observed in 1 patient and occurred during 1 nursing intervention (0.1% of all nursing interventions).

There were no significant differences in epilepsy types, interictal EEG, and ictal scalp EEG, between the two groups.

Again for each subject, the NREM 2 sleep periods of 200 s which had no ictal changes or sleep disorder findings were analyzed for spindle density.

The ictal bradycardia syndrome: localization and lateralization.

These changes are potentially caused by increased perfusion and metabolic activity due to ictal activity, postictal hypoperfusion, and transient ultrastructural pathologic alteration [46].

Cessation of seizures was defined as the disappearance of EEG seizure activity (all patients with a diagnosis of nonconvulsive status epilepticus underwent continuous EEG monitoring) or the disappearance of previous ictal symptoms without any suspicion of ongoing subclinical seizure.

Epilepsy is usually characterized by two or more unprovoked seizures, which affect the ictal person at any time.

The paper presented a comparison of various entropy methods used for the classification of normal, interictal, and ictal EEG signals.

He remained unresponsive and continued neuromonitoring revealed multifocal epileptiform discharges and continual ictal discharges from the right anterior quadrant with contralateral spread consistent with nonconvulsive status epilepticus.

Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) are described as time-limited episodes of alterations of consciousness and sensation and involuntary motor movements, which are associated with psychological conflicts instead of ictal epileptiform discharges (1,2).
