A 22-month-old child suffered accidental strangulation, which rendered him comatose with intermittent generalized tonic-clonic seizures. His elecroencephalogram (EEG) displayed widespread activity of alpha frequency unreactive to sensory stimuli. Upon clinical recovery, a slower posterior EEG rhythm, attenuated by eye opening, was detected, which was more consistent with the patient's age. This observation is remarkable, because of the rarity of reports of an alpha pattern after cerebral anoxia in young children and the subsequent EEG and clinical evolutions.
一名22个月大的儿童意外窒息，导致昏迷并伴有间歇性全身性强直阵挛发作。他的脑电图（EEG）显示广泛的α频率活动，对感觉刺激无反应。临床恢复后，检测到一种较慢的后部脑电图节律，睁眼时减弱，这与患者年龄更相符。这一观察结果很显著，因为幼儿脑缺氧后出现α波型以及随后的脑电图和临床演变的报道很少见。
