Patterns resembling tracé alternant in quiet sleep of an adult
Clinical EEG (Electroencephalography)
|October 1, 1979
Abstract:
An 18-year-old man with lymphoma and Listeria meningitis developed a pattern similar to tracé alternant during quiet sleep. This is a pattern normally seen in the neonate during quiet sleep and probably represents diffuse brain disturbance of both cortical and deep gray matter if occurring in the adult, as with other discontinuous or burst-suppression patterns.
