Unilateral alpha subharmonics: a case report.

Occipital alpha subharmonics are a normal EEG variant. Unilateral occipital slowing, however, is associated with focal dysfunction of that particular side. We report a 10-year-old girl with the incidental EEG finding of unilateral occipital slowing. MRI of her brain was completely normal and on long-term follow up she remained healthy. Based on her clinical history, normal MRI of brain, and the character of the slow posterior rhythms, we conclude that unilateral slow alpha rhythm can be a normal variant akin to alpha subharmonics.

Helping patients who say they cannot sleep. Practical ways to evaluate and treat insomnia.

Why do some people spend most of the night tossing and turning while others drop off as quickly as a cat in the sun? There are many possible explanations for problems with falling and staying asleep and, sometimes, patients actually get a lot more sleep than they think they do. Each type of insomnia has its own set of symptoms, which can be used, along with appropriate diagnostic tools, to help in identification. In this article, Dr. Attarian describes differential diagnosis and summarizes the best treatment approaches to the common causes of insomnia.
