title: The electro-encephalogram in the term neonate. Case reports.
abstract: The use of a portable electro-encephalographic (EEG) recorder has proved to be a very useful additional investigation in the neonatal intensive care unit. The normal EEG patterns in term infants are easily recognizable. Inactive or burst/suppression (paroxysmal) recordings during the first week of life signify a poor prognosis.
