title: Inflammatory reactions of the skin caused by adhesive EEG electrodes.
abstract: The correct choice of electrodes for neurophysiologic monitoring is one of the unsolved problems in clinical practice and scientific research. In addition to the familiar electrodes, i.e., cup (silver-/silver-chloride, gold) and needle electrodes, adhesive electrodes (e.g., Zipprep electrodes) have been offered for rapid application and accurate signal recording. This case report indicates that adhesive electrodes can lead to superficial lesions of the skin or inflammatory infiltration.
