ABSTRACT
Periodic, lateralized, epileptiform discharges (PLEDs) in the electroencephalogram have been reported in association with a variety of structural lesions of the brain. Although a great deal of attention has been directed to the neuropathological basis of PLEDs, little emphasis has been placed on the functional basis of this EEG syndrome. In this paper, we reported a patient with multiple systemic problems whose EEG showed PLEDs. However, radiological and pathological studies revealed no neuropathological basis for the occurrence of this EEG syndrome. Thus, we presented evidence that metabolic factors may play a part in the pathogenesis of PLEDs.
