Draft:Ictal-Interictal Continuum

Review waiting, please be patient.

This may take a week or more, since drafts are reviewed in no specific order. There are 243 pending submissions waiting for review.

If the submission is accepted, then this page will be moved into the article space.
If the submission is declined, then the reason will be posted here.
In the meantime, you can continue to improve this submission by editing normally.

Where to get help

If you need help editing or submitting your draft, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors. These venues are only for help with editing and the submission process, not to get reviews.
If you need feedback on your draft, or if the review is taking a lot of time, you can try asking for help on the talk page of a relevant WikiProject. Some WikiProjects are more active than others so a speedy reply is not guaranteed.

The ictal-interictal continuum (IIC) refers to any rhythmic or periodic electroencephalographic (EEG) pattern with features concerning an ongoing seizure but not meeting formal electrographic criteria to be definitively characterized as ictal. These patterns are commonly identified in critically ill patients and present a diagnostic challenge with significant clinical implications. Patterns lying along an IIC may arise from a variety of different conditions involving both focal and diffuse cerebral pathologies. Because this pattern may confer the same neurological risks as non-convulsive status epilepticus, prompt evaluation is necessary to optimize clinical outcomes.^[4]
