Atlas Of Pediatric Eeg 2nd Edition

More than 800 EEG tracings provide the visual assistance needed to diagnose pediatric seizure activity This unique atlas details the two most commonly used tests in pediatric medicine -- EEG and MRI – in a user-friendly, side-by-side presentation. The book features 800 known tracings with correlating MRI on the same page. Under each tracing is a full description and diagnosis of what is seen in the tracings and images. These descriptions facilitate learning and pattern recognition skills essential to using EEG and also serve as a reference of known patterns for the experienced EEG user. Readers will also find 200 video clips showing each of the major epilepsy classifications in real patients and real time.

"750 EEG tracings provide the visual assistance you need to diagnose pediatric seizure activity. Atlas of Pediatric EEG will prove to be an essential visual reference to for both the novice and experienced neurologist. For those new to the field, it will help develop the pattern recognition skills necessary to diagnose pediatric seizure activity. For experienced neurologists, it provides a working collection of known patterns to which they can compare their own tracings. Atlas of Pediatric EEG features a full-color presentation, easy-to-read bulleted chapter text, and detailed legends under each tracing that provide a full description and diagnosis of what is seen in the tracing. Chapters also contain case examples that add clinical relevance to the tracings. This unique atlas covers every type of seizure, both epileptic and non-epileptic. Also included is a companion DVD containing 190 video clips to assist you in learning how to interpret video-EEG, which is rapidly becoming the most common modality for EEG"--Provided by publisher.

The thoroughly updated Second Edition of this atlas is an indispensable reference for anyone performing or interpreting pediatric EEGs. It contains more than 300 illustrations--over 100 new to this edition--depicting normal and abnormal EEG tracings from infants, children, and adolescents. Coverage includes the full range of normal variations and both typical and atypical examples of common and difficult-to-recognize abnormalities. Succinct legends highlight the distinguishing features of each pattern and the clinical significance of abnormal phenomena.

This edition combines Dr. Blume's two classic books--"Atlas of Adult EEG" and "Atlas of Pediatric EEG"--into a single resource for adult and pediatric epileptologists, neurologists, and neurology trainees.

Atlas of Pediatric and Neonatal ICU EEG is the first and only atlas to provide a comprehensive overview of the EEG patterns encountered in critically ill neonates and children, with emphasis on their significance and implications for patient care. EEG monitoring is an essential component of neurocritical care, and the patterns seen in critically ill children and neonates are often distinctly different from those found in critically ill adults or encountered in an epilepsy monitoring unit or outpatient neurophysiology laboratory. This resource provides expert guidance in the interpretation of neonatal and pediatric critical care EEG with hundreds of examples and detailed descriptions to enhance understanding and facilitate better outcomes for EEG monitoring in children. The chapters begin by addressing the basics of each topic before focusing on specific EEG patterns and their relevance to a particular disease state. Dedicated chapters on rhythmic and periodic patterns, status epilepticus, quantitative EEG analysis, and multimodality monitoring provide a thorough grounding in ICU EEG skills and applications. The book concludes with a series of thirteen cases illustrating common scenarios to help clinicians apply lessons learned. 140 board-style questions targeting information covered on the epilepsy and clinical neurophysiology boards is included online along with 12 videos that further amplify chapter content. Incorporating the most recent American Clinical Neurophysiology Society guidelines for critical care EEG monitoring in neonates and children, this evidence-based atlas will be a trusted reference for critical care clinicians, neurologists, epileptologists, and other providers who care for critically ill neonates and children. Key Features: Detailed descriptions of the indications for and utility of ICU EEG monitoring in neonatal and pediatric patients Over 270 images of neonatal and pediatric ICU EEGs with explanations of key features Illustrative cases, board-style review questions with rationales, and videos facilitate understanding and application of the material covered in the images and text Takeaway points included at the end of chapters underscore essential information

The electroencephalogram (EEG) is essential to the accurate diagnosis of many neurologic disorders. The Second Edition of Atlas of EEG Patterns sharpens readers’ interpretation skills with an even larger array of both normal and abnormal EEG pattern figures and text designed to optimize recognition of telltale findings. Trainees will benefit from hundreds of EEG figures, helping them spot abnormalities and identify the pattern name. Experienced neurologists will find the book excellent as a quick reference and when trying to distinguish a finding from similarly appearing patterns. Organized by EEG pattern, the Atlas orients you to the basics of EEG, helps the reader identify the characteristic EEG wave features and leads you to the EEG diagnosis through a table that organizes all of the EEG patterns according to their wave features. The Atlas includes the full range of EEG patterns from the common rhythms to the rare findings, and it also includes numerous examples of artifacts.

In one convenient source, this book provides a broad, detailed, and cohesive overview of seizure disorders and contemporary treatment options. For this Fifth Edition, the editors have replaced or significantly revised approximately 30 to 50 percent of the chapters, and have updated all of them. Dr. Wyllie has invited three new editors: Gregory Cascino, MD, FAAN, at Mayo Clinic, adult epileptologist with special expertise in neuroimaging; Barry Gidal, PharmD, at University of Wisconsin, a pharmacologist with phenomenal expertise in antiepileptic medications; and Howard Goodkin, MD, PhD, a pediatric neurologist at the University of Virginia. A fully searchable companion website will include the full text online and supplementary material such as seizure videos, additional EEG tracings, and more color illustrations.
