Abstract:

Burst-suppression pattern (BSP) on EEG is related to the most severe disorders. It is defined as suppressed activity occupying >50% of the EEG record interchanged with normal amplitude bursts. In the international clinical practice, BSP is considered a so-called malignant pattern related to absolutely unfavorable prognosis for consciousness recovery except for substances suppressing the nervous system. These data were obtained in the adult population, whereas in pediatrics this phenomenon is less investigated. We present a clinical case of consciousness recovery and improvement in a critically-ill 5-year old girl with viral encephalitis who was presenting the BSP for 7 days. Therefore, BSP in critically-ill pediatric population indicates severe impairment of the bioelectric activity of the brain, but it is not an absolutely unfavorable condition; patient’s clinical state may be improved up to complete recovery due to a proper intensive care. First, this clinical case confirms the need for continuous and frequent EEG recording in critically-ill children, and, second, the need for somatosensory evoked potentials assay (SSEPs) with stimulation of median nerves. High precision and informative value of SSEPs for prediction of unfavorable outcomes manifested by coma and their high specificity does not depend on the use of drugs suppressing the nervous system.
