EEG in Assessment of the Neonate• General considerations
– Role of EEG relative to other testing modalities
– Technical considerations– Issues in interpretation
• Features of the normal and abnormal neonatal EEG
• Application to specific clinical problems
![Page 6: Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal · Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal. Eli M. Mizrahi, M.D. Peter Kellaway Section of Neurophysiology. Department](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021714/5bef997009d3f274038bd2a6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Neonatal EEG Best Utilized as a Correlative Study
• Infant’s medical history• Recording strategies based upon history and
physical findings• Clinical observation and stimulation during
recording• Relationship of EEG findings to other laboratory
findings• Consultation between neonatologist and
neurophysiologist
![Page 7: Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal · Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal. Eli M. Mizrahi, M.D. Peter Kellaway Section of Neurophysiology. Department](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021714/5bef997009d3f274038bd2a6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Application of Neonatal EEG in Consideration of Clinical Questions
• Determination of conceptional age• Assessment of diffuse brain injury
– Assessment of presence of brain death• Assessment of focal brain injury• Determination of timing of brain injury• Determination of prognosis• Diagnosis of neonatal seizures
![Page 8: Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal · Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal. Eli M. Mizrahi, M.D. Peter Kellaway Section of Neurophysiology. Department](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021714/5bef997009d3f274038bd2a6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Technical Considerations
• Electrode application• EEG channel selection• Polygraphic channels
– Respirations– Electrocardiogram– Electro-oculogram– Electromyogram
![Page 9: Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal · Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal. Eli M. Mizrahi, M.D. Peter Kellaway Section of Neurophysiology. Department](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021714/5bef997009d3f274038bd2a6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Recording Strategies
• Montage selection– Single montage– Inclusion of Cz and other midline regions
• Recording duration• Recording protocol
– Wake/sleep cycles– Suspected abnormal clinical events
![Page 10: Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal · Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal. Eli M. Mizrahi, M.D. Peter Kellaway Section of Neurophysiology. Department](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021714/5bef997009d3f274038bd2a6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Basis for Interpretation• The normal neonatal EEG undergoes rapid and
predictable changes as a consequence of brain growth and development.
• Abnormalities may be characterized by altered developmental characteristics as well as specific patterns or wave-forms.
• Patterns that are normal at one development stage may be abnormal at another.
![Page 11: Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal · Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal. Eli M. Mizrahi, M.D. Peter Kellaway Section of Neurophysiology. Department](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021714/5bef997009d3f274038bd2a6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Challenges in Interpretation
• The significance of some features of the neonatal EEG have not been determined.
• Certain abnormal EEG findings in the period immediately following brain injury may be transient– Their significance is related to change over
time– Underscores the need for serial recordings
![Page 12: Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal · Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal. Eli M. Mizrahi, M.D. Peter Kellaway Section of Neurophysiology. Department](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021714/5bef997009d3f274038bd2a6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Neonatal EEG and Brain Development
• Basic assumption– Brain development proceeds at the same rate
whether the infant is in the nursery or in utero• Cautions
– No intercurrent CNS injuries– Recently challenged by computer-based
analysis

Dyschronism
• Determination of conceptional age depends upon the presence or absence of certain established developmental milestones characterized by specific EEG features.
• Dyschronism: the finding of developmental features that are inconsistent with age– Other EEG features– Infant’s actual age
![Page 38: Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal · Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal. Eli M. Mizrahi, M.D. Peter Kellaway Section of Neurophysiology. Department](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021714/5bef997009d3f274038bd2a6/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Dyschronism
• External– Developmental
features in all wake/sleep states are immature for stated age
• EEG-age determination correct?
• Clinical-age determination correct?
– Immature EEG features evidence of delayed maturation
• Intrauterine cerebral insult
• Internal– Mixture of
developmental features present in different physiologic states
– Precise determination of conceptional age cannot be made
– Suggests diffuse dysfunction

Clinical Utility of Neonatal EEG
• Best utilized in the context of a clinical question– What is the infant’s conceptional age?– Has the infant suffered a diffuse brain injury?– Is there evidence of a focal brain injury?– When did the CNS injury occur?– What is the prognosis?– Has the infant experienced a seizure?
![Page 60: Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal · Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal. Eli M. Mizrahi, M.D. Peter Kellaway Section of Neurophysiology. Department](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021714/5bef997009d3f274038bd2a6/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
What is the Infant’s ConceptionalAge?
• When dates are uncertain or there are conflicting data– Head ultrasound– Dates by history– Physical examination
• Neonatal EEG can be utilized to determine conceptional age based upon age-dependent features– Within 2 weeks
![Page 61: Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal · Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal. Eli M. Mizrahi, M.D. Peter Kellaway Section of Neurophysiology. Department](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021714/5bef997009d3f274038bd2a6/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Has the Infant Suffered a Diffuse CNS Injury?
• Features that indicate diffuse dysfunction– Undifferentiated– Depressed and undifferentiated– Suppression-burst– Isoelectric
• Features that suggest diffuse dysfunction– Internal dyschronism– Multifocal sharp waves– Lack of wake-sleep cycling
![Page 62: Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal · Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal. Eli M. Mizrahi, M.D. Peter Kellaway Section of Neurophysiology. Department](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021714/5bef997009d3f274038bd2a6/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Has the Infant Suffered a Diffuse CNS Injury?
• Generalized abnormalities may indicate the degree of diffuse disturbance
• EEG abnormalities, typically, are not representative of a specific neuropathologic process
![Page 63: Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal · Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal. Eli M. Mizrahi, M.D. Peter Kellaway Section of Neurophysiology. Department](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021714/5bef997009d3f274038bd2a6/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Has the Infant Suffered a Diffuse CNS Injury?
• The EEG is typically not utilized in the neonate in the determination of brain death
• Brain death in this age group is a clinical diagnosis
• The time course in the determination of brain death may be longer than in older patients
• EEG data will be more clinically pertinent in relation to prognosis
![Page 64: Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal · Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal. Eli M. Mizrahi, M.D. Peter Kellaway Section of Neurophysiology. Department](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021714/5bef997009d3f274038bd2a6/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Has the Infant Suffered a Diffuse CNS Injury?
• Understanding the timing of the EEG in relationship to injury may be as important as in the interpretation of the findings.

Is There Evidence of Focal CNS Injury?
• Persistent focal abnormalities suggest focal structural lesions– Sharp waves– Voltage asymmetry– Focal slow
• Differentiate normal from abnormal transients
![Page 67: Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal · Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal. Eli M. Mizrahi, M.D. Peter Kellaway Section of Neurophysiology. Department](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021714/5bef997009d3f274038bd2a6/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Are Focal Abnormalites Specific To an Underlying Etiology?
• Attempts have been made to correlate focal findings with etiology– Positive central (rolandic) sharp waves
• Initially: intraventricular hemorrhage• Now: periventricular leukomalacia
– Periodic laterized epileptiform discharges (PLEDs)
• Initially: herpes simplex encephalitis• Now: seizure discharges of the depressed brain
![Page 68: Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal · Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal. Eli M. Mizrahi, M.D. Peter Kellaway Section of Neurophysiology. Department](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021714/5bef997009d3f274038bd2a6/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
When Did the Injury Occur?
• Most controversial aspect of neonatal EEG interpretation
• Finding of delayed maturation suggests that the injury occurred in utero– Dyschronism
![Page 69: Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal · Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal. Eli M. Mizrahi, M.D. Peter Kellaway Section of Neurophysiology. Department](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021714/5bef997009d3f274038bd2a6/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
What is the Prognosis?
• The greater the EEG abnormality, the more grave the prognosis
• Although the initial EEG may be very abnormal the accuracy of prognosis is based upon the evolution of the abnormality– Degree and rate of resolution
• A normal initial EEG reliably suggests a good prognosis– Within first 24 hours
![Page 70: Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal · Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal. Eli M. Mizrahi, M.D. Peter Kellaway Section of Neurophysiology. Department](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021714/5bef997009d3f274038bd2a6/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
EEG Features Thought to Have Prognostic Significance
• Developemental assessment• Character of the background activity• Focal features
![Page 71: Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal · Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal. Eli M. Mizrahi, M.D. Peter Kellaway Section of Neurophysiology. Department](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021714/5bef997009d3f274038bd2a6/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Prognostic Value of Abnormal or Absent Developmental Features
• Possible association with neurological impairment (“at-risk”)– Dyschronism– Absence of expected grapho-elements– Delayed maturation in serial recordings
![Page 72: Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal · Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal. Eli M. Mizrahi, M.D. Peter Kellaway Section of Neurophysiology. Department](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021714/5bef997009d3f274038bd2a6/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Prognostic Value of EEG Background Activity
• Association with significant neurological impairment or death– Electrocerebral
inactivity– Suppression-burst– Depressed and
undifferentiated– Prolonged interburst
intervals (pre-term)
• Association with possible neurological impairment– Depressed or
undifferentiated– Non-reactive– Aberrant sleep
architecture
![Page 73: Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal · Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal. Eli M. Mizrahi, M.D. Peter Kellaway Section of Neurophysiology. Department](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021714/5bef997009d3f274038bd2a6/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Prognostic Value of Focal EEG Features
• Association with significant neurological impairment or death– Positive rolandic sharp
waves (>2/min)– Persistent voltage
asymmetry
• Association with possible neurological impairment– Positive rolandic sharp
waves (<2/min)– Multifocal sharp waves
![Page 74: Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal · Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal. Eli M. Mizrahi, M.D. Peter Kellaway Section of Neurophysiology. Department](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021714/5bef997009d3f274038bd2a6/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Practical Considerations
• Know the timing of EEG in relation to suspected injury– Further from the injury with an abnormal EEG
the more likely it is to be persistent• Perform serial EEGs
– Abnormal EEGs early in the course of injury may improve, suggesting an improved prognosis
![Page 75: Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal · Neonatal Electroencephalography: Normal and Abnormal. Eli M. Mizrahi, M.D. Peter Kellaway Section of Neurophysiology.

Practical Considerations in the Interpretation of Neonatal EEG
• Consider conceptional age– Parameters of the normal and abnormal EEG
are conceptional age dependent• Consider the EEG in relation to the clinical
problem– Try to address the clinical issues

Clinical ImperativesConsequences of Neonatal Seizures
• Immediate– Alternations of
autonomic function• Heart rate• Respirations• Systemic blood
pressure
– Hypermetabolic state– Etiology of underlying
CNS dysfunction
• Long-term– High early death rate– Impairment later in life
• Developmental delay• Neurological
abnormalities• Post-neonatal epilepsy

Problems of Seizure Recognition
• Timing– Unpredictable in onset– Frequency
unpredictable– Duration is
unpredictable• Self-limited• Intractable
• Clinical Identification– Some features unique
to neonatal period– Recognition may be
difficult– Pathophysiology
differs by seizure type• Epileptic• Non-epileptic

Classification of Neonatal Seizures
• Methods of Classification– Clinical features
• Predominant clinical behavior• Components of an evolving seizure
– Temporal relationship of clinical features to EEG seizure activity
– Pathophysiology
