This systematic review aims to describe the clinical, EEG, and prognostic correlates of bilateral independent periodic discharges, a poorly understood EEG pattern.
Periodic discharges (PDs) are EEG patterns that may have important clinical and prognostic implications. There are different subtypes of PDs that are delineated by their location, and each type may have different meaning regarding prognosis and clinical associations. Bilateral independent PDs are a subtype that have not been analyzed recently and remain poorly understood. In this article, we systematically review the literature to better describe bilateral independent PDs regarding underlying neuropathology, neuroimaging, and neuroexamination correlates, seizure incidence, EEG characteristics, their comparison with other PD subtypes, and prognostic meaning.
