Abstract
Three cases of arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) following sports-related neck trauma are reported from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD.
Highlights
Automated interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) detection over multiple samples of IEEG may be of value in planning epilepsy surgery for intractable epilepsy in children

Treatment with heparin (UFH) followed by aspirin resulted in complete recovery
Summary
A computerized spike detector was used to measure and localize interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) over prolonged, representative segments of recordings in 19 children with intractable, mostly extratemporal lobe epilepsy. 8 hours of IEEG, randomly selected 30-min segments of continuous interictal IEEG per patient, were analyzed over all intracranial electrode contacts. Spike frequency was averaged over the 16-time segments, and electrodes with the highest mean spike frequency were within the seizure-onset region in 11 of 19 patients.
