    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study examines diffuse cortical ischemic syndrome in elderly patients, characterized by consciousness disturbance, neurological deficits, and seizures. Periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges were observed, linked to factors like underperfusion and hypertension.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurophysiology

    Background:

    • Diffuse cortical ischemic syndrome presents with specific clinical and electroencephalographic patterns.
    • This syndrome primarily affects elderly individuals.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the clinical and electroencephalographic characteristics of diffuse cortical ischemic syndrome.
    • To identify pathological factors contributing to this syndrome.

    Main Methods:

    • Study included twenty subjects with the described syndrome.
    • Electroencephalography (EEG) was used to record brain activity.
    • Clinical presentation and neurological deficits were assessed.

    Main Results:

    • Patients exhibited sudden consciousness disturbance, neurological deficits, and epileptic seizures (focal motor, epilepsia partialis continua).

  • Periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges (PLDs) were recorded, often unilateral and in parieto-temporo-occipital regions.
  • Syndrome associated with generalized underperfusion, hypertension, embolic processes, metabolic factors, and pre-existing cerebral infarcts.

    • Conclusions:

    • Diffuse cortical ischemic syndrome is linked to a combination of vascular, metabolic, and pre-existing cerebral conditions.
    • Understanding these factors is crucial for managing elderly patients with this neurological condition.
