Join us for the webinar on Ictal EEG
🗓 Tuesday, May 5
🕒 12:30 PM EST

This session will explore various ictal patterns on EEG and discuss the appropriate terminology to describe ictal events. You will learn how the EEG changes during a seizure from evolving rhythmic activity with higher amplitude, slower frequencies, and increased rhythmicity compared to normal EEG.

Navita Kaushal, PhD, R. EEG T, RNCST, NA CLTM, is presenting and Brad Beauchamp, BS, R. EEG T, CLTM, is moderating.

Approved for 1 ASET CEU Credit. Practical insights you can apply immediately.

Did you know that some EEG patterns considered abnormal in adults are completely normal in neonates?

Because the brain develops so quickly in early life, EEG patterns can change week to week in premature and full-term infants. Without understanding a child’s gestational and chronological age, normal patterns can easily be misinterpreted.

In this webinar, we’ll explore how EEG evolves from premature babies through childhood, and what technologists should look for when evaluating EEGs in patients up to age 12.

Isaacs syndrome is a rare peripheral nerve hyperexcitability disorder characterized by continuous spontaneous muscle fiber activity. It is most commonly associated with autoimmune mechanisms, particularly antibodies directed against voltage-gated potassium channels, leading to persistent nerve firing. Clinically, patients present with muscle stiffness, myokymia, fasciculations, painful cramps, and delayed muscle relaxation, which may persist even during sleep. Electromyography (EMG) typically demonstrates continuous motor unit activity with neuromyotonic discharges, including high-frequency doublets or multiplets. The condition may be idiopathic, autoimmune, or paraneoplastic, sometimes associated with tumors such as Thymoma. Management includes membrane-stabilizing agents like carbamazepine or phenytoin, as well as immunotherapies such as corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin, or plasma exchange in autoimmune cases.

Morvan syndrome

is a rare autoimmune neurological disorder characterized by peripheral nerve hyperexcitability and central nervous system involvement. It typically presents with a combination of continuous muscle twitching (neuromyotonia), severe insomnia, autonomic dysfunction, and neuropsychiatric symptoms such as confusion, hallucinations, agitation, or memory disturbance. Patients may also develop excessive sweating, tachycardia, weight loss, and neuropathic pain. The syndrome is most commonly associated with antibodies against voltage-gated potassium channel (VGKC) complex proteins, particularly CASPR2 (Contactin‑Associated Protein‑like 2) and sometimes LGI1 (Leucine‑Rich Glioma‑Inactivated 1). In some cases it can be related to tumors such as Thymoma. Diagnosis is based on clinical features, antibody testing, and electrophysiological studies that may show neuromyotonic discharges. Treatment generally includes immunotherapy such as corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin, plasma exchange, or other immunosuppressive therapies, along with symptomatic management. Early recognition and treatment can significantly improve the prognosis.

Pectoralis Minor Syndrome is a form of neurovascular compression in which the brachial plexus nerves and/or the axillary vessels are compressed beneath the Pectoralis Minor Muscle as they pass under the muscle near the coracoid process of the scapula. It is considered a subtype of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, specifically involving compression in the subcoracoid (retro-pectoralis minor) space rather than the scalene triangle or costoclavicular region. The condition often develops due to repetitive overhead activities, poor shoulder posture (especially prolonged protraction of the scapula), trauma, or muscle tightness that shortens the pectoralis minor muscle. Patients typically present with symptoms such as pain in the anterior shoulder or chest wall, paresthesia, numbness, weakness, or heaviness in the arm and hand, which may worsen with arm elevation or forward shoulder positioning. On physical examination, tenderness over the pectoralis minor insertion and reproduction of symptoms with shoulder abduction or stretching of the muscle may be observed. Diagnosis is mainly clinical but may be supported by electrodiagnostic studies and imaging when neurogenic or vascular involvement is suspected. Treatment usually includes postural correction, stretching of the pectoralis minor, strengthening of scapular stabilizers, physiotherapy, and activity modification, while refractory cases may rarely require surgical release of the muscle.

Dynamic Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) for Dynamic Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) refer to specialized diagnostic techniques that measure nerve function while the wrist is in motion or under stress, rather than at rest. This approach aims to overcome the limitations of conventional, static NCS, which may miss up to 16–34% of CTS cases, particularly in early or positional, intermittent stages.

Lhermitte’s sign is a neurological symptom characterized by a sudden, brief electric shock–like sensation that travels down the spine and may radiate into the arms or legs when the neck is flexed forward. It reflects irritation or dysfunction of the cervical spinal cord, particularly involving the dorsal columns, and is classically associated with multiple sclerosis, but it can also be seen in other conditions such as cervical spondylotic myelopathy, spinal cord compression, vitamin B12 deficiency, radiation-induced myelopathy, tumors, and inflammatory or demyelinating disorders of the cervical cord. The sensation is usually transient, not painful, and reproducible with neck flexion. Although Lhermitte’s sign is not a disease itself, it is a valuable clinical clue pointing to pathology affecting the cervical spinal cord and warrants further evaluation based on the clinical context.
