  • Title: Spindle coma and alternating pattern in the course of measles encephalitis.
    Author: Bortone E, Bettoni L, Buzio S, Delsoldato S, Giorgi C, Mancia D.
    Journal: Clin Electroencephalogr; 1996 Oct; 27(4):210-4. PubMed ID: 9465285.
    Abstract:
    Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a well known complication of measles infection. Electroencephalographic abnormalities may occur frequently, in the form of moderate to severe diffuse high voltage theta-delta activity. We report a case of measles encephalitis with rapid benign outcome, that showed peculiar EEG features both of a "spindle coma" pattern and of an "alternating pattern." Possible physiological explanations of the EEG findings are discussed.
