XXXX complex and @entity302 : prognostic significance of electroencephalography and magnetic resonance imaging.

@entity1 @entity410 @entity2916 @entity302 @entity4607
@entity2916 complex is a disease that affects many organs, including the central nervous system. Nervous system involvement in the form of @entity4607 often results in @entity410 . In this study we wanted to determine the outcome of @entity302 in @entity2916 and determine whether interictal electroencephalograms (EEGs) and @entity4607 as seen with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are predictive of degree of @entity410 control. The study population consisted of 30 @entity1 . For each @entity1 two sets of EEG and MRI data, separated by at least 12 months, and information on @entity410 frequency at time of data collection were obtained. Sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of various EEG and MRI findings were determined. @entity410 control improved in 20 and worsened in 10 @entity1 . In relation to @entity410 control, the specificity of an abnormal sleep EEG and the positive predictive value of normal sleep EEG were 100%. MRI and EEG background were neither sensitive nor specific for predicting @entity410 control. A majority of @entity1 with @entity2916 can achieve good @entity410 control. The sleep EEG is helpful in predicting eventual @entity410 control.
