ABSTRACT

An electroencephalography (EEG) has always been considered a specialized field, whose use and interpretation requires training. For this reason, access to these monitoring studies has been restricted to neurologists and neurophysiologists. Newborn infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) require neurophysiological monitoring to establish their diagnosis and prognosis, so a simple and accessible tool is required for NICU staff. Such features have been covered by amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG), which, through simple visual patterns of brain activity, allows to approach neurological conditions. The objective of this study is to help with the management of mnemonics that facilitate the identification of normal and pathological visual patterns in an aEEG. Although simple in appearance, this nomenclature is intended to create an easy-to-understand idea of basic concepts for the use and interpretation of neurophysiological monitoring with aEEG.


La electroencefalografía (EEG) siempre ha sido considerada una materia especializada, que amerita de entrenamiento para su aplicación e interpretación; esto ha provocado que el acceso a estos estudios quedara confinado a neurólogos y neurofisiólogos. El recién nacido ingresado en la unidad de cuidados intensivos neonatales (UCIN) amerita de monitorización neurológica para establecer diagnóstico y pronóstico, por lo que se necesita una herramienta sencilla y accesible para el personal de la UCIN. Estas características han sido cubiertas por el electroencefalograma de amplitud integrada (aEEG) que, a través de patrones visuales simples de la actividad cerebral, permite el abordaje de la condición neurológica. El objetivo de este ensayo se orienta al manejo de mnemotecnias que faciliten la identificación de patrones visuales normales y patológicos en el aEEG. La nomenclatura empleada, aunque puede parecer simple, pretende crear una idea fácilmente asimilable de los conceptos básicos para la aplicación e interpretación de la neuromonitorización con aEEG.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Duplication of 12q is characterized by craniofacial dysmorphia, growth failure, occasional brain malformations, abnormalities of the extremities, skeletal and thoracic malformations, cardiovascular defects, anogenital abnormalities like cryptorchidism, psychomotor delay, and intellectual disability. Case presentation: We describe a female patient with typical manifestations of duplication 12q and epilepsy. She had a normal 46,XX karyotype. The microarray assay exhibited a 19.35-Mb gain at 12q24.21q24.33 due to ins(21;12)(p11.2;q24.21q24.33)mat. Discussion and Conclusion: The duplicated region in the patient encompasses 219 genes, 24 considered as pathological. No relation between epilepsy and the genes reported as pathological has been reported.
