“…Clinical histories and chart recordings were reviewed for the occurrence of epileptic seizures, completed strokes, and reversible ischemic attacks (RIAs) -this heading including both TIAs and protracted transient ischemic attacks 29 (PTIAs). In most cases, the diagnosis of epileptic seizures was based on the history taken by the neurologist in charge of the patient.…”

CSF SEROTONIN IN RUPTURED ANEURYSM/ Voldby et al. 189ruptured cerebral aneurysm. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiat 27: 198-199, 1964 2124The growing attention focused on transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) seems to have fostered an increasing disregard of the relationship between epilepsy and cerebral ischemia, and the two diagnoses have even been considered as mutually exclusive. 26Seizures in obstructions of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) have not been regarded as an outstanding feature of the clinical picture, being included among second-order symptoms.6, '• 10,12,26,27 The obvious inference is that epileptic attacks are more frequent in carotid than in MCA occlusive disease. Indeed, their actual incidence is difficult to assess on the basis of data so far available. In the carotid group, epilepsy was the presenting symptom in 6.7% of patients, whereas no MCA patient had seizures prior to the appearance of a neurological deficit. Since epileptic seizures may complicate an otherwise asymptomatic carotid obstruction, angiography should be performed whenever the other standard investigations, including CT-scan, fail to reveal the cause of a late-onset epilepsy.

From a consecutive series of 812 patients at risk of stroke we selected 100 who seemed to be at high risk (excessive stroke risk--ESR) on the following clinical criteria: either multiple reversible ischemic attacks in one carotid territory or multiple (or bilateral) severe stenotic carotid lesions. The patients of the first subgroup received medical therapy and those of the second were referred for surgery. The 100 patients were followed up for 12 months, during which 29 patients had cerebral ischemic events: 17 having stroke and 12 TIA. This study suggests that it is possible to identify beforehand subgroups of ESR patients, thereby facilitating the selection of patients for brain protection and avoiding huge trials of unselected cerebrovascular patients.

“…Com ACIDENTES VASCULARES CEREBRAIS 0 ataque isquêmico transitório (AIT) é definido como um déficit neurológico agudo que regride completamente no prazo de 24 h (Millikan, 1975) e pode ser indicativo de que um acidente vascular cerebral definitivo possa ocorrer (Loeb, 1980). Entretanto, estudos com TC tern demonstrado que ocorre infarto cerebral em alguns pacientes com AIT (Araki et al, 1983;Candelise et al, 1979), assim como alteração persistente do fluxo sanguíneo cerebral (FSC) (Yonekura etal., 1981) Nagata et al (1982), foi observado uma concordância entre os achados na TC de pacientes com AVCI e a presença de atividade delta no MC e parece que existe uma melhor correlação entre estes dois exames a partir do quinto dia do AVCI (Etevenon & Gaches, 1983;Gaches, 1984).…”

O mapeamento cerebral é uma técnica digital que gera mapas topográficos coloridos da atividade eletrencefalográfica captada sobre o escalpo. O eletrencefalograma após passar por um microcomputador, que realiza a análise quantitativa em várias faixas de freqüência, pode ser visualizado em um monitor colorido (EEG digital). Posteriormente, as épocas do EEG digital são selecionadas para a realização dos mapas, impressão final e arquivo em disquetes. Este método tem demonstrado ser ON em várias doenças neurológicas e psiquiátricas e deve ser realizado sempre em conjunto com o EEG digital. Achamos que dentro de alguns anos os aparelhos de EEG digital/mapeamento cerebral substituam as máquinas que realizam o EEG convencional.
