OBJECTIVE: To determine the EEG findings associated with acute post coronary artery bypass graft @entity75 (aPCE), and to study the demographics and neuroimaging findings. METHODS: We reviewed the EEG in all @entity1 with the diagnosis of PCE between February 2006 and December 2011. RESULTS: We identified 21 (20 males, and one female) @entity1 with aPCE. The mean age (+/-SD) was 64 (+/-11.2) years. Thirteen @entity1 had altered level of consciousness, and 8 presented with @entity911 out of which 3 had acute @entity410 . The EEG patterns observed were: a) generalized theta plus intermixed diffuse delta in 7 (33%); b) generalized theta with focal @entity302 in 5 (24%); c) generalized triphasic pattern in 3 (14%); d) generalized theta with lateralized delta in 3 (14%); e) generalized theta with @entity302 ( @entity302 ), and bilateral synchronous periodic @entity302 (BIPLEDs) in 2 (10%); and f) one @entity1 (5%) with electrographic @entity410 . On EEG/neuroimaging correlation, the EEGs that showed generalized slowing and generalized triphasic patterns had no acute changes on imaging, while the EEGs that showed lateralized slowing, focal @entity302 , electrographic @entity410 and @entity302 had fresh @entity1188 . @entity1 with BIPLEDs had unremarkable imaging. CONCLUSION: The EEG features such as lateralized slowing, @entity302 , and electrographic @entity410 were associated with acute cerebral insults. An altered level of consciousness was the most common symptomatology in our cohort, and could possibly be related to @entity519 /toxic-metabolic etiology. Electrographic @entity410 detected by EEG may clinically present as aPCE.
