From its discovery in 1929 by Hans Berger until the late 1960s, when sensory visual and auditory evoked potentials were dis­ covered and became popular, the EEG was the most important method of neurophysiological examination. W-ith the advent of computer technology in the 1980s, it became possible to plot the potential fields of the EEG onto models of the scalp. This plot­ ting of information as neuroimages followed the structural and functional techniques of Cf, MRI, PET and SPECf. The success of this method, which began in the early 1980s, has led to the brain mapping of EEGs and EPs being increasingly used for di­ agnosistic purposes in neurology, psychiatry and psychopharma­ cology. The pioneers of this method believed in it and were commit­ ted to its success. However, many traditionalists felt that it gave no new information and so regarded the method with scepticism. Some found both the coloured maps and the mapping technique misleading, which led to unnecessary conflict between mappers and their chromophobic oponents. Emotions have run so high that some professional bodies have justifiably adopted guidelines and warned of the misuse of the method.

As the population ages, technology improves, intensive care medicine expands and neurocritical care advances, the use of EEG monitoring in the critically ill is becoming increasingly important. This atlas is a comprehensive yet accessible introduction to the uses of EEG monitoring in the critical care setting. It includes basic EEG patterns seen in encephalopathy, both specific and non-specific, nonconvulsive seizures, periodic EEG patterns, and controversial patterns on the ictal–interictal continuum. Confusing artefacts, including ones that mimic seizures, are shown and explained, and the new standardized nomenclature for these patterns is included. The Atlas of EEG in Critical Care explains the principles of technique and interpretation of recordings and discusses the techniques of data management, and'trending'central to long-term monitoring. It demonstrates applications in multi-modal monitoring, correlating with new techniques such as microdialysis, and features superb illustrations of commonly observed neurologic events, including seizures, hemorrhagic stroke and ischaemia. This atlas is written for practitioners, fellows and residents in critical care medicine, neurology, epilepsy and clinical neurophysiology, and is essential reading for anyone getting involved in EEG monitoring in the intensive care unit.

Le deuxième tome de la série d'atlas d'électroencéphalographie est consacré aux épilepsies, qui sont abordées dans leur vaste diversité, selon les critères modernes de classification : épilepsies focales, épilepsies généralisées, encéphalopathies épileptiques, situations et étiologies particulières, crises réflexes. Comme dans le tome I, chaque planche d'EEG représentée est analysée pour en extraire les éléments significatifs, utiles au diagnostic et à l'interprétation. Les épilepsies les plus courantes sont privilégiées, en raison de l'orientation pratique de l'ouvrage, mais certaines formes moins communes, plus déroutantes, sont également illustrées. Un texte synthétique résume les conceptions actuelles des principales catégories d'épilepsies. Les médecins qui pratiquent l'EEG y trouveront une aide à l'interprétation. Cet ouvrage s'adresse également à tous les médecins qui prennent en charge les patients épileptiques, ainsi qu'aux techniciens des laboratoires de neurophysiologie.
