摘要

In this issue, Levesque et al. provide a comprehensive review on the topic of nonepileptical stereotyped intermittent symptoms (NESIS) in various forms of brain injury and the transient neurologic symptoms (TNS) observed in chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) patients1. For those who manage cSDH patients, this is a vexing clinical problem which is often refractory to typical anticonvulsants and electroencephalogram (EEG) often fails to show evidence of epileptiform activity, just slowing and electrical attenuation. In cSDH, neuroimaging may not show structural changes to warrant surgical intervention, yet symptoms are often recurrent and stereotyped despite one or more anticon-vulsant drugs. Symptoms are often distressing to patients, nurses, and clinicians since they remain of unknown etiology. The term NESIS is an important, potentially unifying terminology that has diagnostic and prognostic implications2 . In a cohort of 84 patients hospitalized for treatment of cSDH, 26% experienced TNS. Of these, 59% scored positive for NESIS. Remarkably, mortality rate was 0% in the NESIS group compared to 33% in the nonNESIS group, the latter mainly considered to have seizures. Hence in the context of cSDHs, seizures are a bad prognostic sign.
