Electroencephalography (EEG)

Abstract

Delirium is a common cause for acute hospital admissions. There are many potential causes for this presentation, including infection, polypharmacy and metabolic disorders. We present the case of a patient with hyponatraemia and prolonged delirium, in whom the diagnosis of non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) was made following electroencephalography (EEG).
