Jeavons Syndrome, Eyelid Myoclonus with Absences (EMA) with Epileptic Status and Hypoactive Delirium

Abstract

The evaluation of electroencephalogram (EEG) and the clinical picture of eyelid myoclonus (EM) with absences (EMA) using classical EEG signal evaluation and power spectral analysis currently presents a major challenge to predict further improvement, unsteady status, neurological defect outcomes in patients, or lethal termination in septic encephalopathy and acid-base imbalance due to kidney failure. At the Clinic of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Medicine (CAIM) of University Hospital in Martin (UHM) we clinically examined a patient N.J., a 58-year-old male with EMA. We used the Neuron-Spectrum-AM specialized software to measure the EEG signal visually and by means of power spectral analysis methods to quantitatively analyse the EEG record.
