She does complain of some coughing and fatigue.,PHYSICAL EXAMINATION,NECK:  On physical examination palpable lymphadenopathy is present in the left lower neck and supraclavicular area.  No other cervical lymphadenopathy or supraclavicular lymphadenopathy is present.,RESPIRATORY:  Good air entry bilaterally. Examination of the chest wall reveals a small lesion where the chest wall recurrence was resected.  No lumps, bumps or evidence of disease involving the right breast is present.,ABDOMEN:  Normal bowel sounds, no hepatomegaly.  No tenderness on deep palpation. She has just started her last cycle of chemotherapy today, and she wishes to visit her daughter in Brooklyn, New York. After this she will return in approximately 3 to 4 weeks and begin her radiotherapy treatment at that time.,I look forward to keeping you informed of her progress.  Thank you for having allowed me to participate in her care.

Video EEG - 3  ( Sleep Medicine)
Description:  EEG during wakefulness and light sleep is abnormal with independent, positive sharp wave activity seen in both frontotemporal head regions, more predominant in the right frontotemporal region.

PROCEDURE: , EEG during wakefulness demonstrates background activity consisting of moderate-amplitude beta activity seen bilaterally.  The EEG background is symmetric.  Independent, small, positive, sharp wave activity is seen in the frontotemporal regions bilaterally with sharp-slow wave discharges seen more predominantly in the right frontotemporal head region.  No clinical signs of involuntary movements are noted during synchronous video monitoring.  Recording time is 22 minutes and 22 seconds.  There is attenuation of the background, faster activity during drowsiness and some light sleep is recorded.  No sustained epileptogenic activity is evident, but the independent bilateral sharp wave activity is seen intermittently.  Photic stimulation induced a bilaterally symmetric photic driving response.,IMPRESSION:,  EEG during wakefulness and light sleep is abnormal with independent, positive sharp wave activity seen in both frontotemporal head regions, more predominant in the right frontotemporal region.  The EEG findings are consistent with potentially epileptogenic process.  Clinical correlation is warranted.
Video EEG - 1  ( Sleep Medicine)

Sleep:  Activation of a single left temporal spike seen maximally at T3.,3.  Clinical events:  None.,DESCRIPTION:  ,Approximately 12 hours of continuous 21-channel digital video EEG monitoring was performed.  During the waking state, there is a 9-Hz dominant posterior rhythm.  The background of the record consists primarily of alpha frequency activity.  At times, during the waking portion of the record, there appears to be excessive faster frequency activity.  No activation procedures were performed.,Approximately four hours of intermittent sleep was obtained.  A single left temporal, T3, spike is seen in sleep.  Vertex waves and sleep spindles were present and symmetric.,The patient had no clinical events during the recording.,CLINICAL INTERPRETATION:  ,This is abnormal video EEG monitoring for a patient of this age due to the presence of a single left temporal spike seen during sleep.  The patient had no clinical events during the recording period.  Clinical correlation is required.

Sleep spindles were present and symmetric.,The patient had no clinical events during the recording.,CLINICAL INTERPRETATION:  ,This is normal video EEG monitoring for a patient of this age.  No interictal epileptiform activity was identified.  The patient had no clinical events during the recording.  Clinical correlation is required.
Snoring  ( Sleep Medicine)
Description:  Chronic snoring in children

CHRONIC SNORING,Chronic snoring in children can be associated with obstructive sleep apnea or upper airway resistant syndrome.  Both conditions may lead to sleep fragmentation and/or intermittent oxygen desaturation, both of which have significant health implications including poor sleep quality and stress on the cardiovascular system.  Symptoms like daytime somnolence, fatigue, hyperactivity, behavior difficulty (i.e., ADHD) and decreased school performance have been reported with these conditions.  In addition, the most severe cases may be associated with right ventricular hypertrophy, pulmonary and/or systemic hypertension and even cor pulmonale.,In this patient, the risks for a sleep-disordered breathing include obesity and the tonsillar hypertrophy.  It is therefore indicated and medically necessary to perform a polysomnogram for further evaluation.  A two week sleep diary will be given to the parents to fill out daily before the polysomnogram is performed.
