EEG was obtained through scalp electrodes following international 10/20 system. Information regarding patients was collected from the laboratory register with the help of a checklist. The EEG findings and clinical seizure events were then compared.Result: Among the 1154 patients, age varied from birth to 75 years. The mean age at presentation was 17±11.4 years and most of the patients were less than 10 years old (44.4%). The male predominated in our study (59.2%). Clinically diagnosed seizure was present in 970 patients (84.1%), among which Generalized tonic clonic...

The aim of this study was to review the clinical and demographic characteristics and electrophysiological patterns of CTS patients who presented to a tertiary care hospital in Bangladesh. Methodology; A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 150 CTS patients at the neurology department, Dhaka Medical College Hospital between January, 2019 to March , 2020 . All the subjects had clinical evaluation and standardized nerve conduction studies of upper limbs (300 limbs) using the same protocol. Results: 228 hands were found to have clinical and electrophysiological features consistent with CTS. There was female predominance (90%) and the highest occurrence of CTS was in the 45-55 years age group. Bilateral CTS was found in the majority of cases ie 78 (52%) and the rest had unilateral CTS. Among those with unilateral CTS, right h...
