Abstract

The evoked potentials and cranial computed tomographic (CT) scan findings in a case of early infantile globoid cell leukodystrophy are presented. The brain stem auditory evoked responses (BAERs) and the flash visual evoked potentials (VEPs) were abnormal. Repeated cranial CT scans showed multiple areas of increased attenuation and progressive cerebral atrophy. These evoked potential and CT scan patterns occurring concomitantly in an infant are suggestive of globoid cell leukodystrophy.

A Kalman filter based methodology for EEG spike enhancement.

In this work, we present a methodology for spike enhancement in electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings. Our approach takes advantage of the non-stationarity nature of the EEG signal using a time-varying autoregressive model. The time-varying coefficients of autoregressive model are estimated using the Kalman filter. The results show considerable improvement in signal-to-noise ratio and significant reduction of the number of false positives.

Visual evoked potential in the newborn: does it have predictive value?

We reviewed studies on the predictive value of visual evoked potentials (VEPs) in the newborn. VEPs demonstrated a good correlation with neurodevelopmental outcome in full-term infants with birth asphyxia. However, their prognostic value in preterm infants is controversial. In preterm infants, most studies showed high specificities for neurodevelopmental outcome, but some studies demonstrated lower sensitivities.
