Case: This patient presented with altered mentation (GCS 5). She had a VP shunt in-situ for hydrocephalus secondary to multiple central nervous system tubers, and was already on carbamazepine and valproate prior to admission. Following the first EEG (A) which shows PLEDs, abortive therapy was given: IV midazolam infusion, levetiracetam, topiramate, and increased dosages of carbamazepine and valproate. The repeat EEG (B) shows resolution of the periodic pattern, with concomitant improvement in conscious level.
