Continuous Qualitative Electroencephalography as a Noninvasive Neuromonitor.
Neurohospitalist 2016 October
Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring frequently guides key decisions in the management of diseases causing intracranial hypertension. Although typically measured by invasive means, contraindications may leave the clinician with little recourse for dynamic ICP evaluation-particularly when the patient's mental status is compromised. We describe here a healthy 18-year-old woman who subacutely progressed to coma due to diffuse cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. Heparinization precluded the use of invasive ICP monitoring, and electroencephalography (EEG) was used novelly as a surrogate ICP monitor. She responded well to anticoagulation and hyperosmolar therapy guided by qualitative EEG and was later discharged with a nearly normal neurologic examination. She was found to have Salmonella bacteremia, heterozygous prothrombin and factor V Leiden mutations, and hemoglobin H disease.
