Brain Waves

Brain Waves

Brain waves are electrical signals generated by the neurons in the brain, which are regularly monitored to measure mental activities. Brain waves and their frequency ranges can be measured using an electroencephalogram or EEG. There are four main types of brain waves, each with distinct characteristics:

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Brain sagging, a rare complication after aneurysm surgery, can be detected using electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring. Specific EEG changes resolve when patients lie down, aiding diagnosis of intracranial hypotension.

Area of Science:

Neurology
Neurosurgery

Background:

Brain sagging is a rare but serious complication following craniotomy and aneurysm clipping.
Clinical and electrographic manifestations of intracranial hypotension are not well-documented and can be misdiagnosed.
