Periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges

ID: periodic-lateralized-epileptiform-discharges

Periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges (PLEDs) are specific patterns observed on an electroencephalogram (EEG). They are characterized by recurrent, sharp waveforms that appear primarily on one side of the brain, which correlates with the term "lateralized." PLEDs are typically found in patients with various neurological conditions, often indicating underlying structural or metabolic brain pathology.
