SREDA on EEG in children with Generalized Epilepsy
Featured Image
Why is it important?
- Although rare (prevalence 0.03% in children), SREDA is more common in children presenting with generalized epilepsy. - OIRDA and TIRDA are abnormal EEG variants seen in children with generalized epilepsy. SREDA is found in similar region as OIRDA and TIRDA and it may be associated with underlying epilepsy in children as compared to being an incidental variant.
Perspectives
SREDA in adults is a benign variant and is commonly seen in patients with CVA. In children since its reported primarily with generalized epilepsy, it may not be an innocent variant.
