1 BiPLEDs are PLEDs that are bilateral, generally asynchronous, and differ in amplitude, morphology, repetitive rate, and location. They are most commonly caused by multifocal or diffuse cerebral injury seen in patients with coma due to anoxic encephalopathy, strokes, epileptic seizure disorders, especially complex partial status epilepticus, and encephalitis.23,25 Stroke was the most frequent cause of PLEDs, while anoxic encephalopathy and CNS infection accounted for the majority of BiPLEDs.25 Patients with BiPLEDs have a poorer prognosis with a mortality of 52%, twice that of patients with PLEDs. BiPLEDs and GPEDs after an anoxic insult carried a poor prognosis for survival. Aggressive treatment of patients may not be warranted when these EEG patterns are seen after anoxic brain injury.24 Source: ICU, Atlas of Pediatric EEG Citation: Laoprasert P.
