Etiological associations and outcome predictors of acute electroencephalography in childhood encephalitis

Highlights • A non-reactive EEG background on early EEG predicts abnormal outcome in children with encephalitis. • Seizures with shifting ictal focality predict drug resistant epilepsy in children with encephalitis. • Children with NMDAR encephalitis have reactive early EEG background & demonstr...
