EEG Findings in Behçet’s Syndrome
Journal Title: Journal of Neurological Sciences-Turkish - Year 2005, Vol 22, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the electroencephalographic features and their relation with clinical signs in Behcet Syndrome (BS). Material and Methods: In this study, electroencephalographic records (EEG) of 40 patients (26 male and 14 female) diagnosed by BS with headache, vertigo, convulsion, cognitive impairment and psychiatrical symptoms are analyzed. Results: Sixteen (40 %) patients had normal EEG findings and 24 (60 %) of them had abnormal findings (n:11 slow activities, n:10 theta and/or sharp theta activities, n:3 diffuse alpha pattern). These findings were observed bilaterally in 18 patients, but in 4 of them, they were localized to right parietooccipital, temporocentral and posterior temporal areas, and in 2 of them they were localized to left temporocentral areas. Conclusion: The changes were nonspesific without lateralization in EEG and these findings were not correlated with neurological symptoms and/or findings in BS.
